@renchap Thanks! I appreciate there are some design considerations here, but I'd appreciate any improvements we could get. This is such a downgrade to my workflow that I'm considering no longer using the Mastodon web UI for notifications at all, and switching to some form of third party client. I can't really make sense of my notifications anymore.

Alt text is a good option for some workflows, but IMO for image-focused accounts it still has the issue of not being readable at a glance.
