Can I receive alerts for certain topics, for example just “Announcements” of new releases?
You can set category notifications.
From the Discourse New User Guide:
Notification level can also be set per category. To change any of these defaults, see your user preferences, or visit the category page, and use the notification control above the topic list, on the right side.
You can also set alerts for tags, e.g. if you just want to be alerted about posts on vak.
