We recently discovered that the “Posts added to tags I’m subscribed to” notification type was generating way too many notifications (as previously noted in this post).
This is partly because the signup flow used to nudge people to subscribe to these notifications. We’ve changed this now. I have also just gone in and reversed any subscriptions that were already created this way, as my guess is that the vast majority of people wouldn’t want them.
If you did like getting these notifications, you can resubscribe by going to the topic page and checking “Notify me of new posts” in the subscribe dropdown. You can also see which for which tags you have notifications turn on in this page under “Notification of New Posts with Tags” (the heading won’t appear if you don’t have any):
These are the topics affected (that are shown in the signup flow):
