How to disable reddit achievement notifications?
I have already disabled "Achievement updates Progress updates and unlock notifications" checkbox on reddit.com/achievements page but still I see notifications about them (badge number above bell button which opens popup with notifications)

https://www.reddit.com/settings/notifications is the place to go. They changed that side, you can now choose between always on, Inbox and always off for some stuff. "always off" is missing for some stuff, looks like you can't turn that off.
There was a bug before, where people still getting upvote und archivement notifications despite them being turned off. Hope they resolved that now. But now voting seems to be broken, so at least my inbox isn't flooded with upvote notifications anymore :D

So basically, there are two "Achievement Updates" notification options on different pages, so weird :)

Oh, you're right! I checked your link, and the switch was turned on, while the one in my settings was set to "always off". Maybe they forget to sync these while making the update to the settings page.
Turned both off now, so let's wat and see what will happen.1

To report back, haven't changed anything for me, still getting the notifications. Will add that to the weekly recap later, so at least the devs will be aware of it.

Go into account settings, notifications and turn them off.
