Love this ->

The orange Bell icon for “others” notifications is too close in color to the red Heart notifications. Can you make one of those, say blue, to stand out more? Thanks! I added this comment in the Beta menu, feedback. (IOS) But first impression—looks good!

people gravitated to Twitter in the first place was that it wasn't Facebook - and I think the overreach of Facebook expats on here since 2024 has had the effect of pushing a ton of ppl from Twitter away, which mutes Bluesky's potential dramatically. So I personally hope the notifications shrink.

overall i really like it! - purely aesthetic but +1 the reply somewhere about action (reply, like) icons being too large on main left subject - “Activity” feels oddly named. appears to be my post/rely subs right? (grugbrain: isn’t it all activity?)

It's still chronological under "All" Grouping is more like filtering

Atm the old/non-beta version works better for someone like me. I mostly get notifs from accounts I've turned notifs on for, so it was nice to have it condensed/grouped. Maybe a "Mutuals" or "VIP" section; the former is self-explanatory and the latter would be accounts users designate as VIP.

I’m still waiting for my age verification to be completed

Just so you know I’m really loving the new full screen on iPad.

This isn't supposed to show up without enabling the beta features, right? Because I seem to be getting it without enabling them.

how about adding post editing

is this about me?

I'm an easy pleaser but it looks so much more modern and appealing to look at. I don't use notification organizing a lot but I hope you guys carry this design language across the rest of the app.

That's what I'm seeing currently, so I would assume so. I kinda like it

Notifications triggered while the app is open keep showing up as pop-ups even after the app is closed. Hope you guys can fix this too! 🙏🏼

Is there a way to separate the looney and demented Leftist bullshit and the reasonable Democrats?

It's v v nice!

if it hasn't changed, you guys might need to be improving or creating an "EDIT your comment" tab. its almost 3rd world, in a modern app, to have to, c/p, save, delete, correct, save, then repost to correct, a typo in composition or language to post a "corrected" comment.

Does it fix the race condition? I’ll see reply push notification, click on it - then a few seconds later (after viewing the reply) I get a notification badge and have to click to remove it.

Is Activity just posts currently? Given that very broad name, does that mean other activity alerts are coming?

this notification in the new screen doesn't let me click on the "mutual follower"'s pfp or something to see who that mutual follower is. I'm not sure who it is just from their pfp alone (especially since it's so small), but if I could click on it to open their profile I'd have more context

For clarification: I've been using the term "activity notifications" to refer to Like and Reblog notifications. I didn't realize that this term is reserved for something else entirely.

First thought, density feels worse, but it feels more "intuitive" and direct

oh so THAT'S what's going on... caught me off guard at first! Let's see how long it takes me to adjust...

Ta. Thought I was going mad for a moment.

Getting a forbidden error in notifications and the feeds are off-line as of right now.

as a verified user (see my name, source: self) i will test this diligently

Umm seems to be a mess. Won't show me who liked posts or replies. Also, "Discover" tab isn't working & Bluesky went down entirely 20 mins ago

I think all of those accounts follow me tbh!

It just feels off, when I click on a tab more than one place away

I luv the color coded notifications. helps me stay sane in this beige world.

I'm not seeing a way to prevent that all notifications get auto-acked when the notification tab opens, nor a way to un-ack a notification. That keeps this notification system in the “bad joke” category. Too bad.

No notifications for reposts?

Update! bsky.app/profile/bjke...

Hey, wait, I got a new complaint ... Very tiny thing, actually: on the Follows tab, it would be good to have a timestamp of when that new follower started following. Hard to say when looking at a long list of unfamiliar names which ones I've already checked out and decided not to follow back

Cool test ! Hâte de voir les nouvelles notifications 🚀

It’s a bit weird at first, but I kinda like it!

the inline filters are nice. Nice to be able to swap between the different relations of users . I dont really get why the profile pictures on the left get so much real estate. each entry could be smaller vertically if that wasnt so big and text could go there

It’s good

Looks good, I do agree with some of the others that it should be tabs instead of pills (to be consistent with the rest of the app) and the followers list should have timestamps like the rest of the notifications. Besides the little inconsistencies like those, I like the overall structuring.

the functionality is useful but I hate the visual look with the avatar of the most recent user interaction being bigger than all the other avatars

Please put a toggle on it, so *WE* can decide how we want to see notifications. Thanks in advance.

It works! Thanks again, Alex.

Okay, thanks!

Adding the "activity" tab separately really helps, thanks!

I like the tabs for the different categories, especially the Activity tab, will be very useful for following events going on, and just feels more developed! Haven’t had any issues so far either

Just noticed more vertical whitespace wasted on a standalone ellipsis + an untruncated display name If I was confused about either fact, I could click through. Neither seems worthy of that much of my "at a glance" attention

It sucks. I have this feature in my AOL mail on my phone, and you can't tell if you've already checked on something from someone.

is there not support for the new view on the tablet layout yet? (ipad)

With the above caveat, I support the options provided by the tabs but only if the format of the results returned under current notifications are retained. I find them more legible than under the tabbed format.

Do you have any kind of DNS or ad blocking enabled? Iirc some of these incorrectly flag and block beta features on Bluesky

it's on mobile too. make sure you have the newest version of the mobile app, and try force-quitting and reopening the app

There’s immediately a lot to like here, a thing or two I’m gonna see about wrapping my head around. REALLY grateful to finally have grouped notifications for when one account likes/retweets my stuff - very useful for my partner and I’s liking/retweeting habits :’)

I would like there to be the possibility to choose the default tab on which we arrive for example "people I follow"

This is definitely broken, I can no longer see what gif I'm being notified about 😭😭😭

Do nsfw images still fully render in notifications?

As long as it's optional, I don't really mind. I wouldn't use it, though. I don't get many notes, and my job is boring, so I like to see all of them. 🤭

* I like the new notification tabs! I think they're a good idea and they're going to increase the signal to noise ratio in notifications. * It wasn't at all clear to me what "activity" is meant to mean.

I just enabled it, it looks good! One thing I would change is the size of the small icons next to the profile pictures: they are a bit too large, I think. Something a tad smaller would be better.

mine says no beta features available

the pills visually make me think they should afford toggling / filtering

I like the tabs, but when I hit the back button on web chrome there's a weird flashing animation that's ugly. (i put the new and the old side by side and i think you can see the old is smoother)

That would work

Looks cool! It always takes some time to adjust to a new UI and solidify my takes, but one thing I will say is that the font sizes on the reply notifications can be a little confusing - the text of the reply itself is about the same size (and shade) as the "Replying to X" text above it

I'd love to see an official implementation of the alternate like and repost icons on my reposts, the way e.g. witchsky has it. I think it would help clean things up even more; I like getting notified of via-likes and via-reposts, but I'd like to see the notifs (visually) separate from my own posts

I love it. Makes it a lot easier to find those posts that I want to look back at... Because I still get a bit of a rush when an author I follow likes or replies to something I said. (I am a cheap date.)

I first noticed it because I opened the notifications page in a new tab and spent some time looking at other threads before I got to it.

Thank you for *finally* letting us switch between notifications from everyone or only people we follow and having it apply retroactively, not just for notifications that occur when the setting is activated. Another filter for only people who follow the user would be great too

I also like that likes of multiple posts by the same user is collapsed down into a single line. It’s clear how many posts they have liked but doesn’t take up a lot of unnecessary space.

i agree with this feedback. i actually turned off this beta because it was so bad. favorites and reposts should not have the same priority as a reply or quote. replies and quotes warrant possible interaction, the others don’t. too hard to distinguish notification types at a glance now.

oh just saw it and the little indication of which poste was replied to over replies is great!

Much easier to use and get an idea on what's going on than before. While we're on notifications, it'd be great if we could fix the broken notification categories on Android some time soon (everything goes to one of the two "Miscellaneous" categories).

It's fine but you've broken the thread counter. What gives?

One thing that really irritates is not being able to bring up the post someone has replied to from the notification. Is that down to me or a missing bit of the app.

It’s nice! My dream version would look like Google Inbox (imo the gold standard for a notification UI). One feed, with noisy messages grouped in the feed.

A solid backing behind each badge would separate the icon from the avatar; test it against similarly colored profile pictures.

Found an inconsistent thing: when I click a large PFP from a quote, like, or repost, it takes me to their profile page. When I click the one from a comment, it simply opens the comment in context. I think that linking to the profile is fine: if I wanna open the comment, I’d click the comment text.

Changing the order of the tabs / a default tab would be great. I’m not interested in likes & would like to move them further to the back. What most interested in are interactions like replies, quotes and mentions. Maybe there could be a grouping option for sections or a “all replies” grouped tab?

…seems like it could get unwieldy for bigger accounts and may push (more) people towards following everyone back

Love how the avatars are displayed when there's multiple

this feels off to me.. like i got confused on to figure out the latest person who followed me.

Grouping is the right fight. Will priority notifications also respect muted threads?

its pretty nice tbh

i love how the new notifications tab looks. i love how everything is organized into activity, follows, and replies. it looks much cleaner and more organized. notifications were a bitch to go through with the old notifications tab, so this is a major upgrade over that.

cool!

Booo I like seeing everything a person likes at once! I’s nice seeing what specific post they liked because 9 times out of ten they’re actually scrolling through my stuff not just liking every post I made and it lets me see what people might want to see more of

On android if I have multiple push notifications and I tap on them it just opens my home feed, but it should go direct to the notifications tab. Fixing that would be nice.

The grouping logic sounds like a big upgrade—curious how it decides what deserves priority.

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

Would you pls work on an edit post feature?
