For anyone using the native Mastodon web site/app annoyed by the HUGE boost/favourite notifications esp. when the original post contains a link card, there are two ways to get them out of your way:

  1. Find the Notification settings button top-right of the notifications feed (after the '🔔 Notifications' title bar button). Toggle on the 'Show filter bar' option.

Now you have a bar across your notifications feed - pick the 2nd one, 'Mentions', for example.

@poppacalypse Yes I use it on my phone! But at the computer I seem to prefer the original

  1. If you have a way to inject CSS into a page, via a browser extension or other method - here is the code I've just put together for Arc's 'Boost' feature, to make the favourites and boosts a bit smaller.

After all, you wrote the post in the first place, you don't need to see the whole content each time someone likes or boosts it!

It seems to need all those !importants in there on Arc, other methods may not need these.

Edit: These have changed! Made the code smaller, by a little:

CSS to copy:

:where(.notification-favourite, .notification-reblog)
:is(
.status > :is(div,a):not(.status__content),
.status__content p:not(:first-child)
) {
display: none !important;
}
:where(.notification-favourite, .notification-reblog)
.status {
min-height: 0 !important
}
:where(.notification-favourite, .notification-reblog)
.status__content p:first-child {
margin: 0 !important;
overflow: hidden !important;
white-space: nowrap !important;
text-overflow: ellipsis !important;
}
