Feature suggestion: communities that notify subscribers by default

If PieFed is so great at replacing chatrooms (like Discord), why are we on zulip and Matrix?

I asked this as a rhetorical question, and then I realised the answer, at least for Me. Chatrooms are harder to miss information on than forums. And PieFed does have a feature to address that, which is that you can make a community notify you of all new posts. But the trouble is, chatrooms do better at getting others' attention, because not everyone sets a community to notify on all new posts.

Which is why I have a new feature suggestion: a setting community moderators can toggle that makes all new subscribers automatically ring the notification bell. They can still turn it off if they like, but by default, it's on. For communities where the usual way to engage is that everyone sees every post.
