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...
Day 68. @empireOfLove still hasn't replied to the "deez nutz" joke I replied with on c/memes. Morale is low and despair is welling but a tiny sliver of hope remains. Will today be the day that @empireOfLove comes through?
Anything past a few days isn’t really adding content at that point.
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.
In case you need it, I give you permission to clear any that are over three weeks old. It'll be okay.
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?)
