Right now, email subscriptions are all-or-nothing per board or per post. There's no way to receive a rolled-up summary of activity across subscribed content on a chosen cadence.
For members managing subscriptions across multiple boards, that means choosing between inbox overload (subscribe to everything and get an email per event) or missing relevant posts (subscribe to nothing and check manually). A digest option would give people a middle path: stay aware of what's happening without committing to per-event notifications.
The ask
Add a digest option in Notification Settings that bundles activity from a member's subscribed boards and posts into a single recurring email.
Ideally it would include:
- Cadence options, at minimum weekly, with daily and monthly as nice-to-haves
- Scope control: all subscribed content, or a chosen subset of boards
- Content coverage: new posts, new threads/replies on subscribed posts/followed members, accepted solutions, each linked back to the source
- An off switch that doesn't require unsubscribing from the underlying boards or posts
- Suppression of empty digests so members don't get blank emails on quiet weeks
Why it matters
This is something members and community managers have asked about. This feature will quietly drive passive members stay connected without committing to checking the site, which tends to translate into stronger long-term engagement.
