Hi @pablobm ,
I’ve gone through the discussion on the issue and the PR comments again, and I think I have a much better understanding of the direction now.
My understanding is that notifications should remain even if the associated Follow/Trace is deleted, and in that case we show a muted message saying that the content is no longer available, rather than deleting or skipping the notification.
One thing I’m still unsure about: if, say, 4 people follow a user and 2 of them later unfollow, should all 4 notifications remain, with the 2 deleted follows shown as unavailable?
Also, thinking about the UI/UX side of this, wouldn’t the notifications tab become quite cluttered for someone who has a lot of daily interaction on the app, with potentially many “content is no longer available” notifications?
After the discussion on the issue, I was thinking of putting together a small proper proposal covering the expected behaviour, UI/UX considerations, edge cases, and implementation approach, and then reworking the PR based on that. Would that be a good way to proceed?
Thanks!
