Yeah but I kinda like it, makes me feel better about not responding to people
I have missing comments and replies pretty frequently, but most-ish show up.
From time to time.
It happens. Clicking/tapping on All beside Unread shows them.
Seems that they get marked read for some reason and then alert doesn’t increase in number and they don’t show up. Unclicking the green read check mark moves it into the default box where it should have been, can be a useful reminder to reply to something later.
Yup
Yeah. It seems like what's happening is that when one replies to a comment it gets marked as read (for obvious reasons) but this also happens if anyone else replies to it too and thus it gets removed from the inbox incorrectly.
oh shit, that makes a lot of sense
I'm pretty confident this is at least one cause, because every reply to my posts or comments that hasn't shown up in my inbox was one that got replied to by someone else before I saw it. Comments with links to youtube, twitter, or reddit suffer the most from this because the bot replies to those with mirrors/different frontends nearly immediately, stopping them from ever going to the inbox.
I noticed it most with federated users that were subjected to the mass line of dunk culture and I thought it had something to do with other instances, but this makes a lot more sense given that comrades were hitting them hard and fast so I never saw the notifications at all. Two missing inbox replies from other hexbears this afternoon are there in my 'all' feed and have replies to them from others, I think you've nailed it.
Nobody ever replies or comments on my white-hot takes. So no, nothing is showing up in my inbox.
about 50/50 for me i think
Been like that since federation
Happens to me a lot yeah. Sometimes they eventually show up though, occasionally like hours later. Sometimes they don't show up at all.
Lemmy still has a bit of growing to do, but it's okay, we'll help it 
I pretty much have to set up an RSS feed for my inbox.
