[Staff Post] About notifications on discussions

As some of you may have noticed, we added a notifications feature to brilliant.org/discussions/, that sends you emails when people comment on a discussion you are subscribed to. A few details:

When you create a new discussion, you are automatically subscribed to the comments that people make on your discussion. You change this setting here
When you comment on a discussion, you are automatically subscribed to the comments made on that discussion. You can change this setting here.
You can subscribe (and unsubscribe) to any given discussion using the link at the bottom of that discussion. This is so that you do not have to comment on a discussion in order to subscribe to it.
We will not send you a second notification email about a discussion until you view that discussion while you are logged in. This is to avoid sending redundant notifications.

We are happy to see all the excitement on discussions these days. We created a notification system to allow you to stay updated on the discussions you are excited about.
