I am occasionally flagged for identifications of reduviids, but if I don’t get to them right away, they get lost in my ever-growing list of Dashboard notifications. Is there a way to search Dashboard for specific observations where I’m mentioned?
I moved this post from “Feature Requests” to “General” since it was a question and didn’t have the feature request template completed.
ultimately – hopefully – what you’re asking for here will be included in revamp of the notifications system. however, that’s probably not happening anytime soon. see: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/notifications-on-inaturalist-please-share-your-ideas/374/202.
in the meantime, it’s not a search function, but this may help you view notifications related to observations (though not notifications related to non-observation things like flags, journal points, etc.): https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/is-there-an-easy-way-to-open-all-notifications/25913/35. it basically displays the same sort of information that you would see in the mobile app activity screen, with a few additional bits of info from the associated observation. when using this to get mentions on observations you’re not already following, you have to explicitly look for observations by others, as noted here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/api-full-text-search-of-body-tags-in-comments-identifications-and-return-observations/31170/29.
