Hello
I wonder if there is a way to get all notifications from a Discourse server without being administrator. For example gets updates when any post or reply is posted. I subscribed to a mailing list but it is very slow, I only gets the email after hours. Why is it so slow?

For all new posts/replies, as in your title? You can go into _ **Preferences \> Categories** _ and set to **Watch** for all categories individually. Other options are **Track** , **Watch first post** , and **Mute**.

Does that help? š

Well I tried it but itās not working. I donāt have any notification. What Iām looking for would be to get push notifications OR/AND have emails quickly. I use mailing list but the emails arrive only at the end of the day or I donāt know how that works but thatās slow.
EDIT: Iāve just downloaded the app Discourse Hub to see if Iāll get notifications.

@snowcode, Iām not sure about the emails, but you can check _ **Preferences \> Notifications** _ for push and desktop notifications.
Each forum might have the option for this feature configured slightly differently. This is what I see via mobile, from two different ones where I participate:

Well the forum I want doesnāt have this feature. I am currently trying the app but is it possible that I see the notification without getting any sound? Or am I just dumb and I got a prob with my phone?

Never an option! š

Iām not sure. Post what phone youāre using, and then hopefully another user will have more info for you. š¤

For this, you would need to review the appās notification settings within your phoneās Settingsā¦I think.

Donāt get discouraged! Keep troubleshooting and posting here! š

Thank you for this kind message. Itās really nice to see such motivation and kindness in forum š
My phone is an Android 6.0 (LG-K10) but I actually didnāt saw anything about the notification in the settings. But I keep looking for it š

Iāve just tried with another forum but I think that push notifications are getting into the process of getting notification on the app. Because on this forum, push notifications cannot be enabled. So I donāt know how Iām going to do that, if anybody has an idea of script or extension for a browser to get all notifications out of a Discourse server (without getting access to the admin stuff) I am highly interested. š

Your problems are specific to that discourse site so you would need to ask the admins there..
