A way to force a user to get email notifications

I am trying to get a new site going and as expected people are not visiting the site enough to see whatever activity may be happening.

I can’t remember when we made this change, but for a while now we’ve instituted “bootstrap mode” on initial install which forces daily activity digests (versus weekly), and grants all new users trust level 1 immediately, for the first 50 people who join a Discourse site. After the 51st user joins these settings are set back to default for all users.
