Mastodon question: any idea why my notifications are stuck at 40? I've viewed them, scrolled through them, etc. - have logged out and logged back in - yet the number will not change or disappear.

I have no idea why that happens, but when it happens to me I'll click on notifications, and then go through and click each one of the subdivisions, e.g. replies, boosts, likes, etc. and that usually resets the whole thing to zero.

@markhurst I don't know why they'd be stuck but can you try clicking "Mark all as read" at the top of the notifications screen?
@Gargron ahhh that did it, thanks - I missed it because I didn't know the double-check-mark icon meant "mark all as read". but now I know 👍
