Limit unread counters, badges, and notifications in open non token gated communities for non-members

Feature Issue

Presently, users encounter unread counters, badges, or notifications from open, non-token gated communities even prior to joining said communities.

User Story

As a user engaging with communities, I desire an automatic system for managing notifications according to my community membership. This way, I won't receive unread counters, badges, or notifications from open, non-token gated communities until I become a member (join such community).

Acceptance Criteria

1. Given I am not a member of an open non token-gated community, When the community is in Pending or Open status, Then :

   • I should not receive any notifications related to that community, including push notifications and notifications in the Activity Center.
   • I should not see any unread badges or counters for messages within that community.
   • I still should be able to see all the message history in community channels in view-only (spectacular) mode.

2. Given I become a member of an open non token-gated community, When the community status changes to Joined, Then:

   • I should automatically start receiving all notifications related to that community, including push notifications and notifications in the Activity Center
   • I should automatically see unread badges or counters for new messages within that community.

Implemented only partially; so all unread counters, badges, or notifications are fetched for non token-gated community once you open it, which is still not expected behaviour
