Every kind is listed for everyone, including ones only admins receive — a preference is a standing
choice, and hiding it by today’s role would silently drop it the day you are promoted.

Some kinds are marked Per dashboard. For those, the switch here is only half the answer. You also have to be subscribed to that dashboard. So “Comments is switched on and I hear nothing” usually means you are not subscribed to the dashboard in question. Subscribe and Unsubscribe live in each dashboard’s⋯ menu.
This is deliberate rather than an oversight — which kinds of thing you want to hear about is a
different question from which objects you follow, so the controls live in different places.
