Next door is a dreadful system that is so overloaded with advertisements that its almost useless. Im very surprised facebook hasn’t developed a local-focused platform
They only cover that specific type of notification and have a toggle switch on the form that makes it confusing as to whether you're subscribing or not.
It took about a week to fully stop the emails because different "types" of notifications kept coming in.
Shady stuff.
A few reactions: Although you can just turn off notifications at the app level, this is annoying because it means you can't won't get notifications for emergency/safety notices, people messaging you directly, etc. The number of relevant agencies will vary by your location, and in my 10 years on ND I have only received an agency notification once or twice. However, I think agencies were only introduced a few years ago…

They did. They have classifieds (competing with Craigslist) and Groups. Every neighborhood in my city has a Facebook Group that's more active than NextDoor.
Patron has a similar issue. Subscribing to a creator by default opts you into all types of notifications from them, and notifications are configured on a per-creator basis with no global override. Worse, if I remember right, the page’s entire state (for all the creators) was represented in a single, slow HTTP request that was fired off when any checkbox was changed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
When turned off using control center. You can still completely disable it within settings. ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208086 )
On Mac there is a "control center" that is not the system's settings? What is it for?
Once you understand that the control center changes are temporary, it’s not proven to be an issue. It’s meant I have not accidentally left Wi-Fi disabled for weeks at a time as I forget I made the change once due to a bad router.
