I see now that the experience does match that of Facebook

revisiting what my experience was, as I was participating in a topic last night with lots of replies, it didnt seem like the notifications were that useful. I should have taken a screenshot last night. I think there were a bunch of like notifications on the topic I was already participating in.

This morning, I realize most of my notifications look similar, where users had mentioned me on the topic.

I am going to pay more attention to the notifications, and will try to come back with some more specific recommendations. But when 6 users send me private messages with the same subject, it starts becoming noise. I’d prefer easy access to an inbox with previews of the messages themselves
