There are lots of notification settings in Discourse! In regards to content that’s generated on the site, you have flexibility in what you get notified about. First, navigate to your account dashboard.
In the “Tracking” tab, you can determine what content you want to be notified about. Using a drop-down menu, you can select the frequency at which you receive notifications from:
- New topics
- Topics you engage with in some way
- Topics you’ve posted
Below this, you can also select which categories and tags you follow. There are four levels of following a category:
- Watched - You will automatically watch all topics in these categories. You will be notified of all new posts and topics, and a count of new posts will also appear next to the topic.
- Tracked - You will automatically track all topics in these categories. A count of new posts will appear next to the topic.
- Watching New Post - You will be notified of the first post in each new topic in these categories.
- Muted - You will not be notified of anything about new topics in these categories, and they will not appear on the categories or latest pages.
