Notifications are event-driven and delivered through the active email adapter. Members choose instant, daily digest, or weekly digest per notification type in their profile. Digests require Pro.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

Go to your profile, then Edit, and scroll to the relevant section. The option you are looking for is there. If the section is hidden, confirm you are on a recent version — some controls were added in 1.4.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.
