A user upvotes your posts or replies.
There is a new reply on a post that you are following, on any community.
There is an announcement created on a community where you have been active in the past 90 days.

Notifications on the 'bell' icon are sorted chronologically. They can be dismissed individually (without following the link) by clicking on the icon at the left of each notification. They can be dismissed as a group by using the "Mark all as read" option at the top left of the list.

Notifications on the 'speech bubble' icon are sorted according to the community they came from. They can be dismissed as a group by using the "Mark all as read" option at the bottom of the list.
