This topic covers how to manipulate Discourse’s notifications. As the community grows, your experience will be more enjoyable if Discourse is able to send you notifications about what you want and not simply everything. Once you understand how to use this Discourse feature (setting notification levels) you can simply tweak it as you use the platform.
Ready to try it? Click on the from-craig tag (just below the title of this topic, at the very top) — on that next page, open the notifications menu and set watching-first-post.
…if you want to go further, go to the front of the site and grab the category drop-down menu and set notification level on some categories too.
