I only get notifications when somone DMs me, but when I make a post and people upvote/comment on it, I get no notification whatsoever.

My settings are default and I haven’t changed much, so it’s as it would have been when I first created an account, hence I don’t believe I disabled anything either.

If it’s not a me issue, then @ernest please do consider making this an important issue to be addressed, and the reason I say that is because it makes Kbin look dead to me, because when I don’t get notified, people would have still conversed with me through my threads on the comments, and also when I don’t get notified about upvotes apart from comments, I don’t even know my post got that much traction unless I manually check it every time.

That being said I know the developer is very busy with Kbin, it’s certainly a feat to create an all-in-one Lemmy and Mastodon alternative with a codebase built from scratch with activitypub compatibility.

So I do understand Kbin is in early development phase and this may already be planned (if yes, great), but even if it is or not, do make this a priority as without proper notifications, whenever I check back Kbin it looks too quiet (especially when it comes to the content I posted).

Edit: Okay sorry for the confusion. Upvotes do get notifications, even on Reddit but not for every upvote, for example if a post gets upvotes to 10, 50, 100, Reddit notifies you. That is what I mean’t, not every upvote.

Thank you!

    There’s a setting for notifications for any reply to your comments. You can also get a notification for any post in any subscribed magazine.

    Notifications for upvotes is definitely not a normal feature and makes no sense.

      And regarding settings, while I will check and change it, why is this not turned on by default? Notifications for comments are fundemental isn’t it?

        About that all I can say is that they were on default for me and it is odd that that they’re not on default for your - but if they’re not currently on for you the best thing to do is to double check your settings.
