This results in me receiving many unwanted emails. Typically a comment will say "Well done on your race", other peoples comments are directed towards the original athlete, and not a "conversation". If a popular athlete has had a good race, and I write "well done" I get many unwanted emails notifying me that others have also commented.

I should only be notified about replies to my comment, or for comments that mention me. You should not notify me of comments on other athletes' activities.

As an alternative, it should be possible to turn off email notifications "when someone comments on a post that I have commented on".

Currently the system limits the number of notifications on other people’s comments to five, so the programming to control these notifications exists. I would like to be able to configure “five” to “zero”.

 

 

Hello ​@Zeimusu 

Thanks you for this feedback on notification functionality. I have tagged it as Feedback in our boards and it will be reviewed by the Team.

Hi ​@Jane , clearly nothing has been reviewed or done because months later this problem still exists. I have the email notifications turned off but there is NO WAY to disable the in app notifications on this. I comment on Strava's recent post ‘Explaining the “Strava Tax”’ and the notifications are literally never ending and make my notifications feed unusable. Who thought this was a good idea?

 

Maybe you purposely ignore fixing this issue, which isn't a problem on any other social media platform out there, to artificially inflate your engagement metrics to please your investors. But the net effect of this is that it makes me have second thoughts on even commenting on a post because I know what will happen afterwards.
