No worries–this happens to me all the time, and it’s usually the combined efforts of many people at once–which is good! I’m just hoping this can be more of a priority for someone to fix.
I get that this isn’t a priority right now for the iNat team because it only affects people who are already invested in iNat a lot. So how about a band-aid instead of a deep solution: Change it so that the max notifications that show at once is 10 or 20 instead of 200?
