Let's just go over notifications on Voat in their entirety. There are five ways to be pinged, and I'll break them into 3 sections:
-
Receive a PM (a message in your inbox).
-
Receive a reply to your submission or your comment.
-
Get an "@" or "/u/" mention in a comment or submission.
-
The third way, through mentions, can only happen at the time the post is made. Editing a mention into a post or comment will not cause the user to be notified.
-
Mentions and replies are separate ways to trigger notifications. For example, when I type @X-Y here, you will now receive two notifications.
(To understand the last bullet point fully, this was received originally as a reply to a comment from @X-Y)
The point I think few may know is "Editing a mention into a post or comment will not cause the user to be notified."
Credit goes to @heygeorge for providing this info.
