I’ve heard this request before. Right now there is no way to get the “blue notification bubble” for new posts on a topic without being emailed. Users can sort-of work around this if they use an email provider that supports filtering, and just auto-delete the emails, but that seems harsh. I can see the use case for notifications on the site without being emailed.
