I'm also interested in this, would make it easier to follow important "books".

@Doctor-Macintosh commented on GitHub (Jan 12, 2022):

+1 for this feature request. Very important feature to notify all useres (opt-out via a setting in the user account should be possible). Great idea to have the author check a box when he wants / does not want an update to be pushed out. To bring it to the max a user could subscribe to a daily digest (one eMail with all the changes of the last 24 hours if any) or immediate notification about a change of (or new) content.

But talk is cheap so I will go and donate - anybody with me?

Also related to what @Doctor-Macintosh said above:
Something like send me an automated digest of my new notes/pages every week could help me retain more knowledge and solve this "no spaced repetition" issue - because I tend to never go back to my old notes once I wrote them...

If any instances need desperately desire this kind of functionality, I've created a couple of examples of achieving this via our logical theme system.
These are unsupported customizations and there are notes to consider on each:

Good afternoon, Are notifications planned out of the box? This functionality is very lacking.

I have just opened #4371 for feedback, with a proposal for an initial implementation of email-based content notifications.

A base implementation, following the proposal in #4371, has been added within PR #4390.
This will be part of the next feature release.
I'll therefore close this off. Additional/related functionality can be opened separately (ideally after gaining experience with the new implementation) if not already covered by an existing issue.
