If I subscribe to a card (but not assigned) and there's activity on it, I'm supposed to get a notification right? When people move their cards to different lists, I don't get a notification in Trello or an email. Is that a bug or is that normal?

Unfortunately, this is a little bit hidden in the current UI. Here's how you enable desktop notifications:
- Go to a board
- Scroll to the bottom of the "Activity" widget (lower right)
- Click "Allow Notifications"
This setting is per-browser (so you'll need to re-enable it if you use a different computer), and only works in Chrome.
If you don't see that link, check the Notifications section of chrome://settings/content to see what your notifications settings are (they may be set to "Do not allow"), and chrome://settings/contentExceptions#notifications to see which sites you're currently allowing/preventing notifications on.
Notes
- You'll only get notifications when someone @mentions you in a comment (e.g. when they say "Hey @Derek, what do you think?")
As I'm writing this, the feature you're asking for is marked "in development" on the official Trello dev board:
https://trello.com/card/board-and-list-subscribe/4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c/1260
I hope we're going to see it in a week or two.

Best Answer
According to Trello's blog on subscribe: "When you subscribe, you get a notification about anything that happens to that card: when somebody comments, when somebody gets added, and when it ceremoniously gets moved to the done list."
Did you have the board open when this change happened? You won't get a notification if you were already viewing the board. If you were not logged into Trello or on another board, you should receive the red notification indicator in the top right hand corner.
As far as emailing goes, also check to make sure your notification of emails is set to 'instantly' under notifications in your user profile.
