@cheeaun some ideas:
1. Sort/filter notifications by post
2. Filter notifications by list
This really only applies to people that get HEAVY activity to multiple posts. Not for most consumers

@scottjenson Professional high-end users? As opposed to the mundane low-performance dregs? The question gives me strong LinkedIn vibes: the alternative high-performer reality of obnoxious salespeople. Usually, this kind of nonsense is immediately blocked here.
@scottjenson sort? I guess you mean filter by notification types?
Not sure how you plan to sort notifications 🤔

@scottjenson @cheeaun Ivory is probably your best bet
@moira @scottjenson @cheeaun I’m very interested in this too.
Once/twice a week I have a post that goes big and I get in between 100-200 notifications…
I use Ivory, but it doesn’t really help much 🥲
@_elena @moira @cheeaun
It helps to "talk it through" to make sure we're clear WHAT is really needed:
* There are cases were you get >100 notifications
* Grouping helps, mostly for favs and boosts, but not mentions
* reading many dozens of replies is fragmented, especially if you've got >1 popular post! (good problem to have right?)
* High level: I just want to follow the mentions more easily
I'd love to build an exploratory web page that take a post URL, parses all replies and provides a better way to browse the many replies but Same Origin Policy (which is a good thing!) makes that hard.
@scottjenson the Mastodon web UI and Ivory now make it easier to parse through all the notifications. Like, I love how Mastodon now has a tab for DMs ("Private Mentions") so that helps a bit.
What would be a total game changer IMHO would be to have a segmentation in notifications... replies from everyone PLUS replies from people you follow (so I'd give priority to them). But I understand that it would add complexity...

> 1. Sort/filter notifications by post
For this, I think you can go to the post page itself and see all the likes, boosts and comments?
> 2. Filter notifications by list
Not sure what you mean by "list". The "Lists" that we create to group followings?
@cheeaun I meant a list of people, as in the List-of-people's-posts type of list. This would allow me to create a "Core list" of people and filter my notificaitons to show just those people.
This is VERY niche and I'm not asking you to do this. Just curious, as ActivityPub is so flexible, if there are clever ways around it, e.g. your suggestion to go to the post page is a good one.
