This is how the new Loops app Notifications screen looks like.
Notice the lack of webfinger addresses, and the instant action buttons like Reply and Like?
All of these notifications are from remote accounts, but we hide the complexity of federation and only show the relevant details.
Pretty cool eh?

Uh sorry? Most fediverse software does this
@dansup I'm not sure if hiding the instance is a good idea. I mean, in the fediverse our usernames are both the handle and the instance, and if we start losing the notion of instance…
@manum we actually never show the full username unless you view the account, we use the display name, like TikTok
@dansup @manum It does not seem that the TikTok design carries well to a federated situation. You can use a display name to trivially impersonate someone else. User names+instance are used to verify an account.

@dansup Ooooh, that's the display name, nor the username. Got it.
