Closes #1559 (closed):
- prevents "... followed you" notifications for pending follows
- adds support for follow request notifications
FE issue: pleroma-fe#823 (closed)
Note: follow_request notifications aren't currently supported by PleromaFE (and cause issues like any other unrecognized notifications, see pleroma-fe#822 (closed)), thus disabled by default. This causes no follow / follow_request notifications for pending follows.
With follow_request notifications enabled, they are created for pending follows. Accepting a follow doesn't generate new notification (intentionally, since accepting is a user-initiated action, and accepter doesn't need to be notified on own action) but previous notification (initially having type: "follow_request") will be rendered with type: "follow" (as reflected in tests).
To enable, add
config :pleroma, :notifications, enable_follow_request_notifications: true
to config/dev.secret.exs.
P.S. This MR is fully compatible with existing and previous versions of PleromaFE, as is (since it disables [:notifications, :enable_follow_request_notifications]). Thus, it's mergeable independently from PleromaFE updates. ;)
