How to change preferences for alerts on Community site posts?

Office 365 - SharePoint Online

Out customer has a community site. Everytime a user writes a comment/answer on a post, the author of that post gets an alert telling him or her, that there is a new comment.

How to disable that?

Thanks in advance

Solution:

Go to:

https://<tenand>-my.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/EditProfile.aspx?emailpref=1

This will open "Newsfeed settings". Adjust "Email preferences" accordingly. The solution for this particular customer was to remove the last option.

  If you have SharePoint admin rights, you can also go to the Admin Center, click on User Profiles, find a user profile, edit said profile and un-check the Email Notification setting for "when someone replies to my community discussion"

  No, this is no standard list/library alert.
