    Summit is my favorite of the Lemmy clients, been using it for a while and probably will the entire time I use Lemmy - thanks so much!

    Thank you for making what I think is the best and most feature rich Lemmy client.

    For a couple of releases, navigating comments by using the volume button seems to have stopped working for me. I was going to report it earlier, but got away from it.

    Is that something you’ve had any other reports about?

    So now that you’re back, one thing I’ve noticed since the revamp of the inbox is that the little red number in a circle on the inbox indicating unread items is often very slow to update. Like, I will reply to my last unread message and the number is still there afterwards and I have to force refresh inbox and/or profile multiple times to make it go away. Not sure anyone else is experiencing this but it’s a bit of a minor nuisance.

      Are you manually marking the inbox item as read? With the inbox update, the default behavior now is that the app will no longer auto-mark inbox items as read. You need to manually mark them yourself. You can change this behavior in settings though.

        It mostly happens after directly replying using the quick reply button without first tapping Mark Read. I had auto-mark off. Testing now with it on.

        EDIT: Same behaviour. Reply gets sent, comment does not get marked read. On refresh of the inbox the message is removed (because it’s been replied to) but the notification remains. Requires a couple of reloads to remove the notification icon.

          Hmm. I can’t reproduce this issue locally. Generally the app will queue a update count update whenever something might cause it to change. It will take ~5 seconds for the update to complete. From my tests the unread count badge will update after ~5 seconds without having to do anything. I don’t have to do any manual refreshes.

            You know, I’m impatient enough that I am probably starting to manually refresh before 5 seconds now that you mention it 😅

            EDIT: Actually there is something - replying via the quick reply button doesn’t automatically mark read until refreshing the inbox. So if you quick reply the message is still in your inbox and the notification icon too, but both disappear on refresh (provided 5 seconds has passed). This seems like a bit of a halfway in-between behaviour between automatically marking read on reply and not?

              Ah I see. I was testing on PieFed and PieFed doesn’t auto-mark messages as read when you reply however Lemmy does. I can add a feature that will auto-refresh your inbox on reply. This should fix the issue however there will still be that delay.

                Aha! Yeah I am still on my regular old Lemmy account even though I did sign up for a couple of Piefed instances. That feature sounds excellent!
