Notifications

The Notifications item in the menu lights up when something happens that involves you - someone likes, reposts, or replies to your post, mentions you, sends or accepts a friend request, messages you, or your uploaded media finishes processing. The same things happening from elsewhere in the Fediverse - a like, a boost, a reply, a mention, a new follower - notify you exactly the same way.

Notifications arrive live: you don't need to refresh the page to see them. Open the notifications area for a quick list of the most recent, or the full Notifications page for your whole history, which loads more as you scroll.

Each notification links straight to whatever it's about, so a tap takes you to the post, conversation, or profile in question.
