You can turn off and on your notifications for the entire app or specific communities, channels, group chats or direct message (DM) chats for a designated period. Communities, group chats, channels and DM chats appear greyed out when you mute their notifications.
You have the option to set notification exceptions to fine-tune your notification preferences, allowing certain notifications to come through while others are muted. For instance, you can mute all notifications for a channel except for messages sent by a specific user.
