One counter for ANYTHING new that happens within a group is a horrible idea. Especially on Nostr, where you have way more than just chat messages ( 👉 posts, articles, videos, wikis, app releases, ... ). Instead, you'd need: 1. A way to keep track of stuff that directly targeted at you 🔔 2. The ability to select what new content types you want to get notified about 📕 🧵 🦋 #nostrdesign #notifications #chatmaxi #communities
Since you can publish a video in multiple communities at once, you can also handle the notifications on that video from any of these selected communities. You'll see the notification counter go down simultaneously in the other communities. So you choose in what community you go and spend your time and attention while "handling" notifications from related communities at the same time as a byproduct.

Communities fixes this. I.e. you choose per community what you want to be notified about and can actuallv target your attention and energy. This is my dream: nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp22rfmsktmgpk2rtan7zwu00zuzax5maq5dnsu5g3xxvqr2u3pd7qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjt3s0p3ksct59e3k7mf0qy88wumn8ghj77tpvf6jumt99uqzqafhnzxvjkgtyjs4xsymdhda0308a8zaeapwvh86ms8ejkzuc3x5n6prce

Although not all notifications are from communities. I use, for example, ngit and gitworkshop. I would like to be interrupted a by "new issue on your repo" notifications.

communities themselves are a criteria, message types can be a criteria (easier if you make a tag to mark them, this is the mechanics of filters) and sometimes you need to turn them off, either permanently or temporarily, permanently tends to a be a bad thing for work but not giving the option is also bad (probably the compromise is to have a field with "specified time period" so you can put a year on things if you are really sure you don't care also would be important to stash this data on the relay for you to retrieve in an application specific data blob
also just pointing out, notifications don't have to be a specific event type, it is just a filter that polls for events and flips a toggle when a match comes up "communities" is not a singular reason for notifications nor is anything... DMs are a commonly needed one, and focus topics and focus threads are others, so there's quite a list of things that need to be watched for
