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!
Thanks for correcting me, but maybe you should also not leave majority of the part I said, in your following comments (ie: your definition of clickbait for example).
And there is nothing bad in Gamification, it simply helps drive engagement which proves my point itself again.
