yeah right now @ mentioning is the most extremely simple version possible,* but there's a merge request up in code review right now for getting notifications!... Ah yeah- we also don’t show up/downtrusts as a number. It’s another area where we’re aiming to differentiate trust from attention. We added emoji reactions as a way for folks to have engagement....
