Notifications != Activity

[codemasher]

Hi! I wonder why the "Notifications" tab is called "Activity" when it actually shows... the notifications?

"Activity" is an entirely different thing - at least in legacy TweetDeck, where it shows the likes etc. of the people I'm following - I'd love to see that here too (because i live and thrive from the activity timeline) - I just wonder if that's technically possible without server side aggregation.

While I'm at notifications: the "follow " link at the bottom of each notification - even from people I'm following - feels bloaty and superfluous. A button like in the Mastodon web client would be more appropriate.

/* sorry... */
.column[type="notifications"] .actions.mt-2{
    display:none;
}

Absolutely. I loved the Activity column on TD, but i don't think i would be able to make it in Mastodon. "Likes" from users to another users content aren't public :(

I think I will:

• rename the Activity column to "Notifications"
• • test a smaller button to follow another user from that column
• create a new column with "Mentions" that only is for mentions

create a new column with "Mentions" that only is for mentions

Ha! That was on my list too but i didn't want to add too much "like in tweetdeck" :D But yea, a separate @-mentions column would be useful as they can easily get drowned in notifications.

:-) I'm closing this, and will push the update soon!
