Do we not have reply notifications on Kbin? (especially for comments)
I just noticed that
people don't read my comments as much here as on Lemmy so I get way fewer replies
someone replied to me and I didn't see it in my notifications, even after tapping Notifications, so I had to go to the thread where he replied to me, check out all my 10+ comments, and see that one of them had a reply. I saw no other way to find this.
I've got comment notifications after federation kicked back in. Significantly delayed sometimes, like I noticed a reply and half an hour later I got a notification about it.
Do you have your notifications enabled in the Settings tab of your account? If you click on your account name and select Settings, on the General tab underneath the Writing and Privacy sections should be the notification section to choose what to enable.
I have had reply notifications off on reddit due to the pedantic, combative, "talk at you" atmosphere that metastisized over the years - so I was pleasantly surprised.
IMO - the first thing you should do with new software or services is go over the settings because the defaults are likely not for your benefit.
Opt-in philosophy > opt-out. You want it? You enable it.
You probably want to go and check your settings - scroll to the bottom and check which boxes you have ticked. I think by default mine was only set to notify me if I had replies on MY OWN posts, but not if someone replied to one of my comments on someone else's post.
There are some setting for reply notifications. I enabled them all and get notifications for replies. It might be good to have them enabled by default tho.
Maybe I'm too dumb to understand the notification setting but which options do I tic to get it to display notifications like it would on reddit. In other words, on my comments I'll get any direct replys, but on threads I post myself, I get notified of all top level comments, but not the replies to those comments.
I noticed the same thing.
After turning notifications on, I didn't get notifications for a comment I made before I turned them on, but I did get one for a comment I made after.
Maybe the notification settings only apply to new posts?
