cert-digest-algo clarification

[Sam Smith]

It's overriding the recipient key preferences. 

So "default-preference-list" is embedded into the public key to tell others your preferences. But if I set a string for "personal-digest-preferences" then this string will override the "default-preference-list" that the other user set in his public key?

This is not clear. 

Say I want to tell everyone, "Hey, I prefer you use SHA256 when communicating with me." What command should I use to communicate this? "default-preference-list" right?

So "personal-digest-preferences" overrides this?

Why don't you simply have a look at the documentation?
 
--personal-digest-preferences string
Set the list of personal digest preferences to string.  Use gpg2 --version to 
get a list of available algorithms, and use none to set no  preference at all.  
This allows the user to safely override the algorithm chosen by the recipient 
key preferences, as GPG will only select an algorithm that is usable by all 
recipients.  The most highly ranked digest algorithm in this list is also used 
when signing without encryption  (e.g.  --clearsign  or --sign).
