Over the weeks I’ve sent a bunch of messages, like offering mod positions, asking for things etc. and I get no responses to about half of them.
Sure, nobody owes me a reply, but I’m wondering if there’s a different reason, such as:
-
Ignoring all notifications, because there’s no immediate distinction between a DM or a comment reply
-
Using an app that doesn’t support messages (which one would that be?)
-
Federation issues (when sending a DM to a different instance)
Thoughts?
When I spun up my own instance I tested DMs back and forth and had no issues, there’s nothing special you need to do for that.
I’m thinking more between instances where one or both might be overloaded. But I see even under normal conditions some things don’t federate properly, so I dunno about messages.
