Missing Comments Notifications, or...?

[Djmac1031]

Im not sure if I'm just getting forgetful, or I'm not getting Comments notifications on my Activity page.

I went back to look at comments on a particular story and spotted several i simply dont remember reading before, from just a few months ago.

Now, like I'm sure most of you, when I see a new Comment notification pop up on my feed I immediately go check it out. We all look forward to comments and so are always on the lookout for them.

This isn't the first time I've spotted a comment on a story months later that I have no recollection of seeing before.

Now, I'll fully admit: maybe my memory is just utter rubbish at this point and I've simply forgotten I'd seen them before when the notification came in.

But I figured I'd ask if anyone else may have had this happen?

its probably just me, isn't it...?

I just left you a comment on your latest. Hopefully you get the notification!

I did, thank you

it might really just be a case of me either missing the notifications or worse, just forgetting about the comments. But while I know my memory can be bad, i usually remember a comment, especially a positive one.

Hell, i remember the negative ones too lol.

I dunno. Maybe my brain is just misfiring, especially if no one else has noticed a problem.

Would you like me to gaslight you?
This is the third time you've posted a thread to ask this question.

Goddamn you. For a second there, I almost believed you.

Have you had a baby recently? Cause it's no joke that pregnancy hormones can permanently screw up your memory retention thingamajig.

I mean I think you're a man, but for all I know I could be misremembering, cause I don't remember things like I used't.

It can happen. I've seen it once or twice... a comment appearing that I know for a fact my activity page did not notify me about.

If I recall correctly the ones I saw popping up were rather old, too... showing up on older stories in between comments I'd read many times before. A glitch in Lit's database mechanics, perhaps. Or comments Laurel missed in the approval queue until years later.

It definitely happens that comments aren’t all being notified about. Once or twice I’d go read one and notice that there actually have been multiple posted, with only one giving me a notification.

It might even be a systemic issue that if you get multiple comments on the same story within the same flush of moderation queue (i.e., posted simultaneously), sometimes you only get notified about one.

The wife and I are forever disagreeing about whether or not one of us told the other something. Just wait for Lit to snap, "I told you about that comment, but you never pay any attention!"
