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! :)

First impression: It really *feels* like I don't get a sense of things at a glance like I could before... too soon to say if that's less info density or visual differentiation, or I just have to get used to it.

Density is definitely worse. For example, shifting the "ago" below (from inline to the side) adds a ton of useless whitespace If you know that detail is unimportant enough to be worth fading, why give it its own line?

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
