Base masto is so bad at handling longposts that I'm convinced that's why most people think that the fedi is bad at longform content.

Did you know that the notifications pane just uses literally exactly the same React component as statuses displayed in feeds? so if someone interacts with a long-ish post, then every interaction can take up a full page of your notifs feed.

Even glitch mostly fixes this, all y'all on dot social and base masto need to get on forks.

Here's one like on a tall pic:

I posted a 1px wide, 10,000px tall image and then liked it from another account. it takes up like 1000 screen heights worth of space in my notifications because the masto default status component doesn't collapse images like an overlay, just truncates the text.
