SharePoint Online - How to re-subscribe likes and comments email notifications

If somebody likes some of my sitepages/news, I receive the following email:

 

It is possible to click on Unsubscribe in the notification mail , it works fine. I receive the following confirmation: "We will stop emailing you about Likes"

 

But how can I resubscribe again, in case I want to receive email about likes again?

 

Best regards Henrik

    Returning back after deep diving into SP depths.

     

    Notification unsubscriptions are stored in each user's personal site (OneDrive) under hidden list named as "notificationSubscriptionHiddenList6D1E55DA-2564-4A22-A5F9-6C4FCAFF53DE"

     

    Unsubscribing likes adds SubscriptionId "email_unsubscribe_Like" to the list which then blocks like notifications

    Unsubscribing likes adds SubscriptionId "email_unsubscribe_Comment" to the list which then blocks comment notifications

     

    Removing each line reactivates notifications on the specific type of notification

     

    URL for this list is in format of

    https://[tenant]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[user_name_domain_here]/Lists/notificationSubscriptionHiddenList6D1E55DA25644A22/AllItems.aspx

     

    Wrote short PowerShell to remove this for a single user

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://[tenant]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[user_name_domain]
    $ListName = "notificationSubscriptionHiddenList6D1E55DA-2564-4A22-A5F9-6C4FCAFF53DE"
    
    $listItems= (Get-PnPListItem -List $ListName -Fields "Title","SubscriptionId","GUID")  
    foreach($listItem in $listItems){  
       Write-Host "SubscriptionId" : $listItem["SubscriptionId"]  
       if($listItem["SubscriptionId"] -eq "email_unsubscribe_Like") { # remove unsubscribe
           Remove-PnPListItem -Identity $listItem.Id -List $ListName -Confirm $false
    Write-Host "Removed likes unsubscription!"  
       }
       
    }

      Comment notifications can be re-subscribed from OneDrive-settings through gear -> OneDrive settings -> Email notification when others comment on my documents.
      Not the most obvious place to control communication site comment notifications but there it is.

       

      But unfortunately have not yet figured out where likes could be controlled so that still remains a mystery...

    Henrik did you ever figure out how to resubscribe? I just clicked it as a test and now I can't figure out how to turn it back on.
