In an attempt to boost activity I’ve tried to answer a few questions in this, and similar communities. Looking for an old comment, I found out that a bunch of posts I’d answered are now *Permanently Deleted*, and what’s that about? If they’re LLM slop there’s enough of it I’d rather just block the community so as to not waste any time.
Or get sick of the avalanche of replies in their inbox, since you can’t turn off notifications for responses to a post or comment unlike on reddit. The only way to make it stop is to delete whatever it was.
Also I’m pretty sure by default if a user deletes their Lemmy account most clients also automatically delete all of their posts and comments. If a user gets fed up with us or decides the Fediverse is not for them, when they take their ball and go home that’s really what happens.
I found turning off notifications completely improved my lemmy experience. I’ll check them and clear them periodically in my own time.
It doesn’t help either that the default web UI doesn’t actually clear off your notification bell even if you’re marked all replies as read until you force refresh the page. That’s kind of annoying.
Other interfaces like Alexandrite and I presume Photon do it a little better.
Isn’t that the Tesseract from the recent trama?
Luckily, it most certainly is not. Tesseract is a (probably now very defunct) third party client.
Yeah, that too. I block the notification element with my adblocker
I have to admit… I kinda get that sometimes. Maybe I’ll spin up a new user just to test if that’s it
