I am a Mastodon client app for iOS! I am full of whimsy and character.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! This is a *very* small gesture, but if you’re a @tootapp user like me, you can use this wonderful app icon to remind you of this important issue!

People with Toot! installed may have noticed an early preview of this in the Relax menu.

Oh, no, I lied, I managed to quickly get a fix in I think. Servers will be working through some backlog of notifications now so you might get some late ones, but, let me know if it is still not working for you after a while.

Looks like the notification relay needs a certificate update, so notifications aren’t working at the moment. Can’t fix it immediately but will get to it as soon as I can.

My main argument against being consistent here is that it would make everything blend together a bit TOO much, it's good to have some visual variation to make it clearer at a glance what is going on.

And for completeness, what about mentions? Maybe you think ALL notifications should use the compact view to be consistent?
No, that makes no sense, mentions should stay.

Sure, it would be more consistent to use compact.

There are other types that are also less clear. What about notifications when somebody you have subscribed to posts? This is a bit more like a mention, so it kind of makes sense to use the full view, but Toot currently uses the compact one.
I'd prefer the full one.

The question is, which notifications should use which? Some are fairly obvious: Mentions should probably use the full toot, while favourites and boosts should use the compacted one, especially when you have folding enabled.

But for some it's less clear! For instance, Mastodon shows finished polls as full toots, while Toot! now uses the compact form, because I found the full posts a bit confusing when reading notifications.

But, do you agree with this?

I think polls should show the full toot.

I have a design issue I can't quite settle on, mostly because it doesn't massively matter, but I would like to figure it out properly. So I'm going to run a couple of polls here to find out how people feel about it.

Namely, when displaying notifications, both the Mastodon web interface and Toot! have two different styles they use: Either a full post like on a normal timeline, or a sort of compact version shown embedded in the notification message.

The two are shown below:
