Hello, I really enjoy how instance of Discource on Digital Ocean works.  
Thank You, developers, for such open-source solution that helps non-profits from Ukraine at war with Russia to work for the good.  
But:

1. “@” does not work in chats and topics/comments - does not mention anyone;
2. I read in one of support topics that daily mails to members is enabled by default. I`ve created test user, but for two days he does not receive any e-mail (posted some topics to check);
3. I plan to create 10 groups of users. Can I make only some categories avaialble to each group?
4. Can I give moderator rights to particular person to manage only one category?  
Thank You in advance for any suggestions and tips!  
Have a good and peaceful week!

You can do this, just make your groups, then when making or editing a category remove “everyone” and add the group(s) you want to have access instead under Security.

I do not believe they can be given to a specific person, however it could be given to a group with one person in it. (Under Settings \> Moderation)

UPD: mention just works - my mistake.  
God bless 🙏
