Is there a "professional" Mastodon client for high end users? I'm mostly looking for a tool that helps me sort notifications. When you get a few popular posts it's very hard to track everything.
What I like about the fediverse is that there could be a completely separate tool just for notifications

@scottjenson sort? I guess you mean filter by notification types?
Not sure how you plan to sort notifications 🤔

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

> 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? -

@scottjenson @cheeaun Ivory is probably your best bet

@scottjenson have you tried expanding the options on the notifications column in the normal webview? there are loads of optons, and you can have multiple columns with different settings

@scottjenson of all tested front ends, phanpy was best in class in grouping/clustering notifications.
I'm no heavy user, but even I loose sight if one posts receives >40 reactions and the used client displays each single one in a sequential list.

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.

@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 🥲

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 easilyI'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...

@scottjenson @_elena @moira would be interested to see how your exploratory web page would look like 👍

@_elena @scottjenson that sounds like “Priority notifications” from some platforms or maybe X 🤔

I'm just brainstorming here. I actually love the simplicity of @_elena 's idea: Have an option in the notifications view to filter by followers. It's a partial match for 'people that I think more important'.
Is it fully what I originally asked for? no. But it's a strong start and doesn't require any additional user work (other than picking the option)
For Phanpy, a dumb idea is to have "only Followers" under the "only Mentions" checkbox in the notifications view. It's clunky, and I think there is a better way to do it but I'm "kicking the can down the road" to give you idea of how Elena's idea could be shown. If there is a better approach, please suggest.

@scottjenson thank you for expanding on my thoughts Scott 🙏

@scottjenson “people I follow” vs. “All mentions” ?

@scottjenson @moira @_elena does it mean that only mentions from followings matter? Or all types of notifications?

@cheeaun @scottjenson @moira @_elena
Change "Mentions - ALL / PRIVATE" to "Mentions - ALL / FOLLOWING / PRIVATE" so you can filter the view to only see mentions from people who you are following?
That seems a sensible plan for those who get a ton of notifications?

@james @cheeaun @scottjenson @moira yes precisely what I meant, thanks… if there was a way to filter mentions with a dedicated tab for replies by people you follow, it would help when popular accounts get 200+ mentions in a day

@nina_kali_nina I have this ongoing fantasy that one day I'll start like "Old Crone Tech" and consult for companies that have software or hardware from ye olden times and help them move it.
Decompiling old programs, extending dosbox/etc to deal with weird peripherals, write modern drivers for old peripherals, things like that.
You'd think that there's a market for that kind of thing? But how would you even start...

@nina_kali_nina We have some maybe-suitable roles open ATM - https://wikimediafoundation.org/jobs/#section-8
As a non-profit, it's not the same $$$ as places like Meta, but we do worthwhile work.
[if you have questions about WMF as a place to work, happy to (try and) answer them :) ]

@hp ikr... Maybe I should consider creating such a market
