Any one individual can. The concern I have is the defaults for newer members. I just don’t want one project to overshadow any others.

What I’m asking for specifically is something like a `max_digest_posts_per_category` option, e.g. if you rank all the topics with most likes/replies/views, the digest email will show these, but will filter this list first so that each category can only have, at most, N posts in this list.

Thanks for the reply @pfaffman!
