Invisible and intangible notifications‽ - Lemmy.world

To clarify, the inbox still functions. Stuff shows up in my inbox and will disappear from unread when I mark it as read. But for most of this week the bell has been saying I have one notification, and this morning it ticked up to two illusory notifications

It just went back down to 1 for some reason‽

The notifications counter gets confused sometimes and especially forgets to decrement when you mark a notification as read.

  • In your browser, refresh the page. It will get normal again.
  • In Jerboa, mark-all-as-read and the counter clears.
  • Other clients may or may not have other workarounds, the most severe of which is killing and restarting them which should generally force a reread of the current notification count.

It’s a bug I’m sure they’ll work out at some point, but for now it is what it is and you just have to live with the irritation as far as I know.

Thank you very much. Finally fixed it.
