The valuelessness of Reddit upvotes made Reddit create notifications when your post / comment gets upvoted - Sopuli

… but Lemmy doesn’t.

Which app did that? I only got notifications when someone replied to a comment/post I made.
On the official app you would get notifications at certain milestones (1 upvote, 5 upvotes, 10 upvotes, 20 upvotes, 1000 upvotes, etc.).
Ah gotcha. Thanks

I think that was in Reddit itself, not any app. You know, apps just display notifications, and reddit creates them.

And yeah, as another user noted, this happened at different “milestones” like 1, 5, 10, 20 etc.

Nah it definitely was not just a reddit itself thing.
Reddit would send notifications to your reddit inbox even on desktop. Don't remember getting any for 1-20 though. If hadn't viewed the old notification, you wouldn't get the notification for the milestone.
It was a New Reddit/official app thing
