Thanks for the lead to the “Site Meta” tag. I have that one open in another tab and will explore it next. However my general response to your reply is that part of the problem is that I would like to see different kinds of “tracking summaries” depending on what kinds of things I am trying to understand at a particular time.
You introduced a new example with your mention of “meetup announcements”. If you are trying to track your activity on LW in terms of such meetings, then you want to see things from that perspective.
What I have done in today’s experiment is to open all the “recent” notifications in tabs because it is not clear which ones are actually new… It would be helpful if the notifications pulldown list also showed the notification times (though the mouseover trick for date expansion also works for the relative dates on the floating summary that appears to the left of the notification when you hover over it). Overall I’m still having a difficult time grasping the status of this question.
