You can always unsubscribe from any channel in Zulip. Unsubscribing from a channel removes conversations in that channel from your inbox, recent conversations, and left sidebar. New messages will not appear in your combined feed, and you will not receive @-mention notifications in channels you're not subscribed to. The app doesn't track your unread messages in unsubscribed channels.

<ZulipTip> Unsubscribe from channels where you don't plan to read the conversations. You can still follow [a link to a specific conversation](/help/link-to-a-message-or-conversation#link-to-a-topic-within-zulip) in any channel you have content access to.

Alternatively, you can mute channels to avoid receiving notifications for messages you are not interested in. </ZulipTip>
