Turn off all other notifications except group notifications

When I started with Discourse two years ago one of the first things I configured was getting rid of the daily digest just because it felt like spam (read: I’m an old effective dog that has been using computers since the early 80’s ). I suspect most users, even when instructed how to, are not capable of doing that. Since I actually think the digest is useful, when not having too much unnecessary stuff, I’ve set the User preferences default to 3 days instead of 1 day but that’s about the best I’ve been able to do (more than explain how to remove the digest altogether).

A daily summary is unusual. When a Discourse launches, it is in bootstrap mode until there are 50 users. Only in bootstrap mode are summaries sent daily.

Bootstrap mode is turned off after the site reaches 51 users; @techapj can confirm but as I recall, the summary frequency is set back to weekly at that point for all users.

Anyway, thanks to @sam’s excellent work unsubscribing from the digest is a one-click affair if people are uninterested.
