The notification feature of the social media service “Bluesky” has been updated, making it possible to categorize and display notifications by type.
We are gradually rolling out the new notification screen.

You can filter notifications by type, such as replies, follows, and post alerts, or display only notifications from people you follow. Similar content is now grouped, reducing unnecessary notifications and making important notifications stand out.
For more detailed settings, see “Settings” > “Notifications.”

The notification section looks like this. There are tabs for “All,” “People I Follow,” “Replies,” “Follows,” and “Post Alerts.” As the name literally suggests, “All” is the tab where every notification is displayed, such as when you receive a like, repost, or reply, or when someone newly follows you.
“Replies” is displayed when there is a direct reply to a post or when a post is quoted.
“Follows” is displayed when someone newly follows you.
“Post Alerts” is displayed when you have enabled alerts for a user’s posts.
To set post alerts, open the user’s profile page and click the bell icon.
Turn on the “Posts” and “Replies” toggle switches to receive notifications for each.
