This is why I could see a need for two different levels of notifications. One that adds any new posts as a notification. One that only adds notifications from areas that you have visited. If you would like to force people to acknowledge some new category you could always do some sort of “@ all” in it’s header to wake people up.

This doesn’t really make sense, as out of the box in Discourse you are _only_ notified when someone is **speaking directly to you** :

- someone replied to _your post_
- someone mentioned `@yourname`
- someone replied to _your topic you created_

Now if defaults have been changed, anything is possible.. but out of the box, trust me, Discourse will only notify you when someone is _very clearly and explicitly talking directly to YOU._
