Ok, so this has to be a bug.
When someone edits/updates a post, I'm *hammered* with notifications. 8+ notifications per edit. It's obnoxious and it's a dopamine crash when I realize that it's not one of MY posts doing rounds, but someone else has corrected their punctuation and now...<ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding>
This happens on my web app as well as the Masto client on my cell phone. I don't know if this is a server side issue, but it doesn't seem local to me. Not sure if it's the editor's server or my own.
