Yup, I've been using that method for years and it's MUUUCH better than waiting for the notifications that come twice a day. You can check at all times if anything has updated (you can see what you have read exactly in the last 14 days, after which they disappear)
It's very sad not to receive notifications about the latest updates, so here's a lil life hack for those starving: in the top right (in the mobile version) you see an icon with a clock and a back arrow. If you click on it and choose "show all" at the bottom - you'll see updates for at least what you've read in the last week +/-
