If you’ve been on Quora for any length of time, chances are you’ve received something called the Quora Digest in your inbox. At first, I wasn’t sure what to make of it, but over time, I’ve learned how to use it to my advantage. In this post, I’ll explain what Quora Digest is, why you get it, and how to tailor it to fit your interests.
Quora Digest is a curated email summary of the most engaging questions and answers on Quora, sent directly to your inbox. It’s designed to keep you updated on trending topics, personalized content, and answers you might find interesting based on your activity on the platform.
For me, it felt like a quick peek into a treasure trove of information without having to scroll through Quora for hours.
Why Am I Getting Quora Digest?
You receive Quora Digest because you signed up for a Quora account and agreed to receive emails during the registration process. The digest is Quora’s way of keeping you engaged with content that aligns with your preferences.
When I first started getting these emails, I was curious but a little overwhelmed by the volume. However, I quickly realized that I could control what I received—and how often.
How to Customize Your Quora Digest
Here’s how I tailored my Quora Digest to match my interests:
1. Log In to Your Quora Account
This is the first step to gaining control over your email settings. Head to the Quora website or app and sign in.
2. Access Your Email Settings
Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner, select “Settings”, and then navigate to the “Email & Notifications” tab.
3. Adjust Your Preferences
Under this tab, you’ll see options to customize the frequency of Quora Digest emails, including:
Daily: Get updates every day.
Weekly: A summarized version once a week.
Never: Stop receiving Quora Digest altogether.
I switched mine to weekly updates to reduce email clutter, and it’s been perfect for me!
4. Update Your Interests
Quora Digest is tailored based on your activity and followed topics. If you’re not enjoying the content in your digest, update your interests by following topics and spaces that genuinely resonate with you.
How I Use Quora Digest Effectively
Here’s how I made Quora Digest a valuable resource instead of just another email clogging my inbox:
Stay Informed on Niche Topics: Quora Digest has introduced me to fascinating answers on topics I might never have searched for myself.
Discover Thought Leaders: Some answers in the digest are written by experts or influencers in their fields, giving me fresh perspectives.
Save Time: Instead of scrolling through Quora endlessly, I get a curated list of highlights delivered to me.
How to Stop Receiving Quora Digest (If It’s Not for You)
If you’ve decided Quora Digest isn’t your thing, here’s how to unsubscribe:
Go to Email & Notifications settings.
Scroll to the Quora Digest section and uncheck the box.
Alternatively, click the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any Quora Digest email.
I tried unsubscribing for a while when I was overwhelmed with emails, and it was just as easy to opt back in later.
Quora Digest is a powerful tool when used correctly. It’s like having a personalized knowledge assistant in your inbox. Whether you’re using it to stay updated on your favorite topics or discovering new interests, you can make it work for you with a little customization.
