In the Misc. Settings, we have options to turn off different feed notifications, but not one for turning off social ones. I would like this implemented because 90% of the time the social post has nothing to do with me. I read through social posts, but I don't particularly like having them show a notification, but I also don't want to take everyone off my friends list.
It also really throws me off when I'm shiny hunting since a lot of times people will post a feed when an egg hatches and I get really hopeful that a shiny hatched.
I've also had friends post spam feeds before which then really irritates me because I took time to go check it.

I would like us to be able to disable notifications for social feeds.

No support. Tht page is created to show FEEDS people posted. It is NOT based on other notifs.

@BlueAbsol
A good argument, but just because something is created for one reason does not mean it is always used purely for that purpose. Also, I'm not suggesting that we completely do away with listing social feeds, I just think we should have the option of disabling a notification about it.

I agree that getting a notification in the hud is a bit disappointing when it's a feed and you were hoping it was a shiny notification. But at the same time, I think that removing all social aspect of the notification feeds would defeat the purpose of having the notifications page.

I would, however, not mind if there was an option to "silence" social feeds so that they still show up on the notifications wall, but do not trigger the numbers in the hud.

@Navuso
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Social feeds would still be on the notification wall. I simply mean that they would not pop up on the Notification globe icon. I never said anything about removing social feeds.

Also, this would be optional, like any other enable/disable-able feed. I no longer get notifications for treasure hunt because I don't want them, but that's only me. This idea would be the same way.

Well, all of the other notification choices completely remove it from the wall :p That's why I assumed this one would do the same, as it never clarified otherwise, that I could tell. (Then again I could have just missed it)

If you check the treasure game, it will post a notification to the wall and trigger the hud icon.
Disable it, and it doesn't even show up on the wall.

Same for the tree, same for daycare eggs, same for plushies, and everything else.

So something different would need to be coded for this to work, but I still support :p

Title: Good

I think this idea is good, often appear notifications where I do not appear, I would like this kind of notifications are not submitted.
