Status: Available How notifications work, what triggers them, and how to manage your preferences.
Notifications keep you up to date on what's happening around you in the community. You'll see them in the app in real time, so you don't have to keep refreshing to find out who replied or reacted.
Where to find them
Look for the notifications bell in the app. New notifications show up there as they happen, and you can open the list to see what you've missed.
What you'll be notified about
Notifications cover the things that involve you directly, including:
- Someone mentions you in a post or comment
- Someone replies to your post or comments on it
- Someone reacts to your post or comment
- A new connection request or when a request you sent is accepted
- Someone follows you
- You're added to a group
- A course you're enrolled in gets an update
- An event reminder before something you're interested in starts
These appear in the app as they happen. Reaction notifications are grouped together over a short window, so if several people react around the same time you'll see them bundled rather than one at a time.
Notifications by email
Some notifications may also reach you by email so you don't miss things while you're away from the app. Not every type sends an email, so treat email as a helpful extra rather than a guaranteed copy of everything in the app.
Managing your preferences
In-app notifications always show up in your bell. What you can control is email delivery. Open Settings → Notifications, where you'll find:
- Email notifications — the master switch for notification emails. Turn it off to stop notification emails; you'll still see everything in the app.
- Activity digest — an occasional email summarizing what you missed while you were away.
- Account & security — always on. Important account and security emails can't be switched off.
There are no per-type on/off toggles today: email is all-or-nothing (plus the digest), and in-app notifications can't be muted individually.
