Notification Types
Groups generate several types of notifications:
- New post: someone posts in a group you follow
- Comment on your post: a reply to something you wrote
- Mention: someone uses
@yournamein a post or comment - Mod action: a moderator warns, mutes, or takes action on your content
- Join request (owners/mods): someone requests access to a private group
Muting Options
You can control notifications at multiple levels:
- Mute entire group: right-click the group in your sidebar → Mute. You stay a member but receive zero notifications.
- Mute new posts only: go to Group Settings → Notifications and uncheck New Posts. You still get mentions and replies.
- Mute a specific member: click their name → Mute notifications from this member
Push vs Email
By default, group notifications are push only (in-app and mobile). To enable email digests, go to Settings → Notifications and toggle Group email digests: you will receive a daily summary instead of individual emails.
