Abstract

Embodiments are described for generating an aggregated notifications feed that organizes notifications into groups of notification thread types. Various notifications in a social media network can be associated with a notification thread, and notification threads can be assigned a thread category. An aggregated notifications feed can be used to provide a user interface with notifications grouped under a corresponding thread category. Grouped notifications can be ordered in several ways such as in reverse chronologic order providing for more relevant notifications to be presented first. This notification ordering can be within a group or can be among groups based on the most recent notification within that group. In some implementations, grouping notifications or ordering notifications can be based on additional parameters such as user preferences, rules obtained for machine learning, or administrator settings.
