9 years ago+8 8 0[Site Functionality] A way to mark notifications as "read."
I would love a way for me to mark a notification as one I've already seen and responded to. I don't know how power-users are able to keep track of anything--after a day off and I have a bunch of comment replies etc., I can't keep track of which ones I've replied/attended to and which I haven't.
Or if someone has a better way to manage this, I'm all ears.

9 years ago+5 6 1Can I set "My Tribes" as the default filter on the front page?
First, apologies if this isn't the best place for this post.
So I really like the front page (snapzu.com) layout more than I like the personalized news feed thing (snapzu.com/ekyris). However, I don't like seeing snaps from tribes I'm not following/interested in. And yes, I know crossposting is a thing, but I often come across snaps where none of the posted tribes are on my list. I like the "My Tribes" filter, but it's slightly frustrating to have to keep remembering to hit that every time I go online. Is there some setting to switch it? Or am I SOL?
