Yeah I’ve got 141 messages waiting on my lemmy account that I can’t be bothered to clear
I feel obligated to respond to most if not all of them because of lemmy’s need for content, and I just don’t wanna. But I also don’t want to just clear them entirely. Some are dating back multiple months…
Anything past a few days isn’t really adding content at that point.
Depends on the community. If it’s something people might find in search results or something then thats useful.
That’s a good point, part of the current issue is having content to engage with though, lot harder on “dead” posts that only come up in searches or deep community dives.
Also seems more like it’s idle chat comments, which is fine, but it’s not really adding content if it’s not engageable.
Day 68. @empireOfLove still hasn’t replied to the “deez nutz” joke I replied with on c/memes. Morale is low and despair is welling but a tiny sliver of hope remains. Will today be the day that @empireOfLove comes through?
In case you need it, I give you permission to clear any that are over three weeks old. It’ll be okay.
I try to keep up with my lemmy inbox throughout the day, but I post a lot and it really piles up. Side note- I’ve noticed an uptick in comment activity lately too. The last couple of mornings, I’ve woken up to 100+ messages. That used to be maybe 35-40.
FWIW the number of Active Users on Lemmy + KBin has levelled off recently: https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse (i.e. maybe we’ve stopped losing users from the summer influx? Or maybe lurkers are now commenting more?)

This is the way. I found I was getting annoyed every time I would feel the buzz of a notification, almost to the point I was ready to throw my phone in a toilet. I ended up disabling notifications for everything but work related stuff, and even that I made sure only pings me during the work hours.
There is a lot of truth in this one. I disabled any push notifications for a long time now. It distracts me too much.
Then what the meme says happened. That led me to reduced the apps I use drastically. I found I didn’t need them in the first place.
Email. WhatsApp. SMS for deliveries.
There is literally no need for any other notifications, you’re just stressing yourself out otherwise

Hold down on it and go to notification settings and turn them off.
You guys are getting messages?
Im looking at you snapchat
It’s ok to ignore notifications too, you don’t need to actively respond to them.
Lemmings have strange problems I’ve never heard of before.
