How do I tune frequency of updates for each topic?

Adjust update cadence by topic importance

Not all topics need the same attention. Set per-topic frequencies so high-priority areas get near real-time updates and background interests get periodic digests.

Tuning approach:

  • Define categories like instant, hourly, daily, weekly.
  • Assign each topic a category based on urgency.
  • Use push for instant and email or digest for daily/weekly.
  • Throttle notifications to prevent alert fatigue.

Measure engagement and change frequencies if items are routinely ignored or if critical things are missed. Simple rules often work best: e.g., markets instant, policy hourly, hobbies weekly.
