Groups.io currently provides neither a personal inbox nor any real notification system, so the only way that would be possible is via email. At this time one has to view the message archive online to check for "likes."

With respect to your second question, I've heard much conjecture regarding the "notifications overhaul." It's brought up in many contexts, including missing entries in the activity log, missing notifications to Moderators/Owners, and various notifications to subscribers of related activities (such as "liking" their posts). Although lumped under one topic, these are very different functions, and unlikely to be implemented all at once. The actual scope and timeline is known only to Mark.

My own speculation is that such things will have to wait until the groups.io app is done, so as to provide a consistent user interface. And it's my fervent hope that groups.io doesn't devolve into the kind of notifications-fest that Facebook has become.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce
