we're testing a new beta version of the Notifications tab! it has new tabs to help you notice priority notifications, and it uses new grouping logic to reduce noise (e.g. when one person likes a bunch of your posts). disclaimer: it's a beta, not a final version. send us your feedback! :)

the gap between the left profile pic and the start of the notification content seems too wide.

this looks a little insane, but below the notifications panel you can see where the post content begins, it’s much less of a gap. currently feels inconsistent in the notifications tab. personally i’d drop the left column entirely, shift the profile pic with the others.

i haven’t let it marinate long… but what is the logic around the primary and secondary subject pfps (making up language). like is jacky main left avatar bc more recently liked?

I am also very sure that the left most avatar is the latest one and everything further right are previous interactions. This is also an improvement as it clearly shows the newest interaction more prominent than older ones. 👍

Initial impression: I don't know how to feel about this / a little uneasy.

it takes a little getting used to for sure but there are some really solid improvements in there (imo)

are there actually filter interfaces that use shift multiselect instead of checkboxes?

Emelia
yeah, there are. It's the same idea though, without much difference.

I'd also like a tab for likes, since that's the most noise, then on the others just have "N likes received" every so often

we do much larger groups now, so likes get bundled into groups of 100+ if needed

Emelia
yeah, but that's only per post, not per user or per timeframe.

feels a lot less compact, which makes skimming harder without filtering.

I want to kill it everywhere sorry. it’s so ugly and no other app has it

Aren't you an iOS user? It's way less common over there because there's a system-wide "go to top" action. I'm mostly neutral on the in-app button itself.

for notifications especially, you can press the tab button itself to go back to top. I’m more sympathetic to the need for it on other pages

Can you have the notification bell icon show the number of notifications, like at the other place?

fullscreening a youtube video is still bugged. it jumps to the top of my feed and stops playing the video. i mentioned it before :( fully updated windows 11 fully updated chrome too many extensions to count (might be interfering)
