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.
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…
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.
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?)
Im looking at you snapchat
Email. WhatsApp. SMS for deliveries.
There is literally no need for any other notifications, you’re just stressing yourself out otherwise
NCleaner on Android. I set it up, never looked at it again.
No regrets.
