Is it possible to not "watch" all categories by default?

[kfirba]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to ensure our users are not following all categories by default. We have many categories and by automatically following all of them we bloat the "unread" section for the user.

We would like to only show topics in the user's "unread" inbox if the topic is in one of the user's following categories, hence we would like the initial state to be "not watching".

Is this thing possible?

This will be possible on the latest version of NodeBB 1.12.0, see https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/7109

There will be 3 states, and the default can be configured from the ACP or on the user settings page.
