While I found the idea interesting of the "Explore" option, I'd caution against it.
Whilst it would make the homepage more clean it might cause an annoyance of the user friendliness, since two clicks might not seem such a hurdle in the beginning, it may become just that long term.
And it might just become cluttered up inside of that drop-down which might make the design deviate from the feel of the website.
Overall, I really like the feed to-the latest bar on the homepage. But to offer an alternative view of this.
Couldn't you guys add a "My Tags" option below the "Settings" in the drop-down that is in the top right corner where the profile pic is. Here's a little demo that might be what it can look like when you click the "My Tags" button.
The green marker indicating the chosen tag and those that haven't a green marker are off the feed.

Love that idea!
