[BUG] Notifications not working on subscribed posts #1004
Comments
It work well for me, are you sure you enabled notification about discussion in your settings page? They are not enabled by default and this is the expected behavior. As he suggested in the pull request you mentioned, a "subscribe" checkbox when commenting on posts you're not yet subscribed would be a good idea. |
No I did not change any settings, my default is still off. I would like to keep this open as a bug because if I as a user see "You’re receiving notifications about activity on this post.", I would expect to get notifications. This is what I suggest to fix this: Item 1 imho is a necessary bug fix, item 2 is more of a feature request |
I disagree about your first point. In-browser notifications would be an extra addition but I don't know what are the conditions to get them (we must have a tab with Fider opened?) |
We once had email notifications enabled by default for comments. But we had to disable because of an high number of complaints stating that it was spam and they never subscribed to that content. I'd like to turn this back on, but I see two improvements we need to do first:
The current behaviour is that you get web notifications for posts that you commented on. If you want email as well, then you'd have to change your preferences. The web notifications is not the browser native notification, it's just that bell icon at the top. |
I think while waiting for the improvements you suggest, it would be very a quick temp fix to just add this simple text as I suggested above:
(Btw web notifications should be on by default imho) |

Describe the bug
Notifications not working as expected, ie I do not receive notifications on threads I am subscribed to.
I have only seen this bug with new comments to post. Status change seem to trigger notification. See examples below.
To Reproduce
Subscribe to post and wait for someone else to comment, see if you got a notification or not
Expected behavior
If it says on a post that I subscribe to it ("You’re receiving notifications about activity on this post."), I expect to get notifications when there is a new comment on the post or other activity

Additional context
Example, posted by me, 3 comments (two by me), no notifications
https://feedback.fider.io/posts/373/allow-html-in-welcome-message
Example, I commented on existing post, subscribed, new comment was added by another user (Guilherme) but no notification
https://feedback.fider.io/posts/8/translate-fider-to-other-languages-internationalization-i18n
This is what I see on my notifications page.
I have received only one notification which is for another post than the two examples above, it is also a status change not a new comment. I have never received any notifications by email.
