I could find several posts about this but they were all closed and none that I could find had clear instructions on how to enable email notifications for admins when posts are awaiting approval. How do I enable these?

Configure the setting notify_about_queued_posts_after this should set a notification for moderators when a post is in approval queue for (x) hours.

Sorry, the link was /my/preferences/emails (it sets notification email preferences) And I couldn’t find anything relevant in my site settings but our moderators do get notifications (albeit a few hours later in case none of them is alive) because we’re globally distributed in a way that at least 1 …
