How to subscribe to a forum category (OR) get notifications for new threads

Hi,
I want to get notified (via email) when new threads are created in certain forums like "Offers" but there's no such option as far as I can see.
Is there any way to get notified for new threads in select forums?

If you can live with telegram notifications for new offer threads:

Not for obvious safety reasons
This feature has not been developed to avoid ending up with 200 vps that we don't need.
More seriously, I don't think it's possible, but I know that there are certain trackers and telegram channels that repost all the offers.
I use this, it's good

How do you read that feed these days?
I have a self-hosted feed reader installed. Was using LET RSS for a while, but three years ago or so it began returning 403 from Cloudflare. Never worked since then.
I also track the feed for offers here and other forums:

I have the same problem with FreshRSS, it works for VPSSLIM Webhosting and not for NameCrane Webhosting. I guess the biggest difference between the two might be ipv6.
But when I changed the program to selfoss, it worked for NameCrane Webhosting.
This is just Cloudflare blocking bot IPs from hosts with a lot of its users scraping content from cloudflare proxied websites.
Just use a mobile or desktop RSS feed reader, that is what I do.
But selfoss worked for NameCrane Webhosting. So is it a problem with Cloudflare blocking rules?
Clean IPs usually because they are used for the webhosting plans.
Update: Just noticed that the problem was with FreshRSS. I think this is related:

@jbiloh please fix RSS.
It's not meant for human consumption, so you should set these endpoints to allow bots scraping.

fix the json endpoint too!
One of my irc bots parses feeds to a channel then i have highlights in my irc client for things I want.
