I’d appreciate the feature that restricts the notifications to the votes on comments posted at most X months ago (with X configurable in the settings). As it is, I’ll mostly get noise, notifications for the comments posted 8-11 years ago that I’m not currently learning from. (At least I expect this to be the case and the first batch of notifications supports this.)
Seems plausible. I do think it’d make sense to check in if this still seems useful in a week or so after getting a sense of the typical use case.
(I’ve personally found it fairly valuable to notice how much traction older posts get, which gives me a better idea of how much value they generate across time)
No ancient updates for the previous week, several for this week. An alternative to removing old notifications is to prepend entries in the list with recency, like “13d” or “8y”, and sort by it.
I think updates were less frequent recently (e.g. zero updates from last week). This should still happen for some people, though there is maybe only about a hundred users with similar number of ancient comments.

A few months later (mostly just focusing on other priorities), curious how this now feels to you.
