Hello :waving_hand: I’m using the ChatGPT (chatgpt-4o-latest) API for daily/weekly summaries since a few weeks and that’s a beast, the best I’ve ever tried.

We use o3 high on the Open AI forum (only visible to tl3) and it is really stellar, if people can afford a reasoning model, it is a very interesting choice. Gemini 2.5 pro has also provided very interesting results.

This is slightly a nitpick but these blurbs feel a little silly because of how artificial they sound.. I’m not sure if that’s intended from the prompt but I feel like they should be gone

Somehow silent=true didn’t work today. At least I was notified that my post was linked.

discourse-categories-suppressed deosn’t supress notifications/mentions though?


I’m totally for the bold word to be changed from “Muted” to “Suppressed”


Orr the Bot could create a new Topic for each Summary

The ?silent=true at the end of links causes no notification to be sent when the post is linked. AFAIK Meta doesn’t use that plugin. The summaries are made using AI (perhaps the URL param needs to be emphasised in the prompt?).

I might be wrong, and they're actually using a forked plugin. However,

the dropdown looks the same as my instance;

yes query is not talking with path ?

perahps the catgories suppressed plugin meta uses is superceeding this logic?

Why do you think Meta uses a category suppressed plugin?
Being able to watch, track and mute categories is part of Discourse core. It’s for example explained in the guide for new users

But muting a category doesn’t help. Half of this topic is about the problem that @mentions and links still trigger notifications. That’s why the mentions are formatted without @ and ?silent=true was developed.

Yes, as Moin said, the mentions and links are done as such to prevent notifying users.

For example, adding ?silent=true or using <a class="mention"><a> gives it the same look, without notifying the target user.

And again. This time I am pretty sure it was this link https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/347764/1?silent=true#p-1690272-categories-section-6. Maybe there is a problem when silent and anchors are combined?

Hello :waving_hand:

I was notified this morning (type :link:) and emailed. The unsubscribe link at bottom of email alows me to mute the topic, will this be enough to solve this problem?

I can’t find a bell for the subcategory, perhaps this is the expected behaviour
