After the change, only 'Subscribed' and 'Not subscribed' options will remain. All existing custom subscriptions will be automatically converted to 'Subscribed', meaning users will receive notifications for all events in those threads. Users who find this too noisy can manually unsubscribe from affected threads. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

All existing custom thread subscriptions will be automatically converted to the Subscribed state, meaning you will receive notifications for every event on those threads. Only two options remain after the change: Subscribed and Not subscribed. If the resulting notifications become too noisy, you can manually unsubscribe from any affected thread. _Developers relying on fine-grained GitHub notification rules can track this kind of platform change on daily.dev._ ### Is the Customize option in GitHub thread notification settings being removed? Yes, GitHub is removing the Customize option from thread-level notification settings entirely. Previously users could configure custom subscription behavior per thread, but going forward only Subscribed and Not subscribed will be available, as part of an effort to simplify notification behavior and reduce subscription complexity. _Keep up with platform changes like this one to keep your GitHub workflow running smoothly, with daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Notifications triggered by spam accounts are now correctly hidden](https://daily.dev/posts/notifications-triggered-by-spam-accounts-are-now-correctly-hidden-jb4yv3mjj) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Notifications are delayed](https://daily.dev/posts/notifications-are-delayed-g1cmwisqw) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Removing notifications for @mentions in commit messages](https://daily.dev/posts/removing-notifications-for-mentions-in-commit-messages-wrrmhyllt) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Threads adds new personalization and community features as it reaches 500M monthly users](https://daily.dev/posts/threads-adds-new-personalization-and-community-features-as-it-reaches-500m-monthly-users-5h3xdygvz) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/custom-thread-subscriptions-are-being-deprecated-4zzjyrxap) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Custom thread subscriptions are being deprecated","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/custom-thread-subscriptions-are-being-deprecated-4zzjyrxap","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/custom-thread-subscriptions-are-being-deprecated-4zzjyrxap"},"datePublished":"2026-08-10T13:26:23.029Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:41:57.904Z","description":"GitHub is deprecating the 'Customize' option in thread-level notification settings.
