@tootapp I really would like badges (just mentions) for toot! Because I don’t want to be checking it every day… I do want to pop in when someone is engaging with what I am saying, and the banner notifications sometimes draw me in when I am doing something else. The badges are more unobtrusive to me because I only see them when I am on my Home Screen. I know other people find them distracting on the screen - but you can disable badges app-by-app in the settings anyway.

For Twitter I ended up getting enough engagement there that there’s basically replies all the time so I switched the badges off.

I think it would be great to have the badge notifications configurable like the banner notifications (so we can choose if a badge is for mentions only, or private mentions only (if that is possible). Or if someone wants to have badges for favourites I guess they can do that (I would not want to do that but someone would and it would be cool to have that if they do)
