==Notifications== | ==Notifications== | ||
Whenever someone interacts with one of your toots or sends you a message you'll be notified.<br> | |||
The notifications button will display a marker if there are unread notifications, unless you changed that in the notification settings<br> | |||
Click on the notifications button to see all notifications instead of the home timeline. | |||
===Notification settings=== | |||
In the top right corner you can change some settings about the notifications. | |||
====Clear notifications==== | |||
This removes all notifications from the view.<br> | |||
You don't need to remove notifications to remove the unread notifications marker though. | |||
====Unread notification markers==== | |||
Select whether to show or hide the unread notifications badge on the notifications button. | |||
====Quick filter bar==== | |||
By default you can choose between all notifications and mentions.<br> | |||
If you hide the quick filter bar you can't choose anymore and will only be shown all notifications.<br> | |||
If you show the quick filter bar and select "display all categories" too, you'll be able to see only relies, only likes, only boosts, only poll results, only updates from people you follow or only new followers. | |||
====Desktop notifications==== | |||
Next you can choose what kind of notification will be displayed for each category.<br> | |||
Desktop notifications are popup notifications on your computer that don't just show up while you are in the browser. | |||
====Show in column==== | |||
Here you can hide notification types from your notifications view. E.g. if you get too many notifications you can hide likes to only see "more important" notifications. | |||
====Play sound==== | |||
This simply changes whether you get a sound notification for each type of notification. | |||
