It's incredibly cluttered. It's trying to show me everything everywhere at once. Too many colors, too much info, too few dropdowns, popups, tooltips and other methods to cleanup the UI. Also too many features with no proper introduction as to where am I supposed to look for it or what it does. (especially streams) Instead of criticizing every little detail. let me propose solutions instead: - Notifications should primarily show what happened and only secondarily if at all current status. - There should only be one place where new public stuff happens - They should be under the same button on the appbar and only in that view should you choose what it is you are looking for. (however if it were up to me. I'd have separate apps for both live streams and groupchats as they will inevitabbly clutter the UI) - Anything thst doesn't neccessarily have to be shown right away should be hidden up to two clicks away. (For instance relay badges on notes in the feed, or notification options in create note view) - It should be possible to turn off translations There is a lot more that I'd say, but these hurt me the most I'd say. If you were interested, I could sketch up wireframes/prototypes with proposed modifications, because I will never be able to describe it as clearly as I see it in my head.

A case in point to illustrate what I am saying. In the screenshot you can see (hopefully) the same notification in Plebstr and in Amethyst. In Plebstr it just tells who did what where, which is exactly what I want to know and it did it on I'd guess ca 6rem vertically? In Amethyst I don't even know what the notification is about until I scroll down, because the notification takes a screen and a half. It shows me a lot of what I don't need to know and I have to try quite hard to find what it is actually trying to convey to me, because there is too much going on at once and I cant quickly figure out what is the important part of that notification.
