Since I started using Boost years ago, I've noticed that private message notifications don't really seem to clear, even after reading and responding to the message. They eventually go away after maybe a month or so but during that time it still reads that I have an unread message. I can't find any way to manually clear them that seems to stick. Mark All As Read does nothing.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android (Pixel phone)

Edit: Mark All As Read is the double checkmark button. It doesn't always work.

Try the mark as read button on the replies tab. Pretty sure it's a bug.

What if you go into them and click the button with the two check marks? I used to have this issue and I remember it not always working but now hitting those more regularly seems to have solved it for me

Its been this way forever from what I have seen. I also never get messages and so the only way I know it does this is from the few random ones that were sent to everyone promoting that fake profile. It would clear eventually but it was frustrating that it wouldnt clear on it's own either. Glad to see someone figured out how to clear it. I also hope they fix it, i always assumed someone reported it but maybe not.

No one talks to me, so I don't have this issue.

Be more like me to solve this problem 😞👍
