For the past several hours I have not been receiving any notifications about posts I have followed. The timestamp for the last followed post notification I received was 2021-07-06 16:23:20Z, and in the 9 hours since then I have seen several comments and answers on posts I followed for which I did not receive notifications. I appear to be receiving other notifications as usual (specifically, I have received notifications for comments on my posts and comments replying to my comments).

Update: This seems to be fixed now. I have been receiving followed post notifications as of 2021-07-07 09:33:56Z, and others also report receiving them recently in the comments below.

  • Also reproduced. Followed a post and there was a comment. I did not get a notification. I find this inconvenient

    Went through some of my followed posts. I can confirm that neither edits nor answers have triggered a notification.

  • I just received a notification as “followed question — comment” for the last comment, but not the other missing notifications for other network activity in the interim.

  • I received a note from @SebastianSimon's comment, so no repro here. Unless it's been fixed in the meantime.

    @Ollie Yours was the first “followed post” notification I received since 2021-07-06 13:28:27 UTC, and I can confirm as well that several followed posts did produce activity which did not result in a notification.

Apologies, a bad "fix" made its way out to production that itself caused another issue... And the tests passed because they had a bug that made it impossible to reproduce that issue because of the way they handled a background process.

Yes, this was my fault and I apologise, but I promise I've now fixed the tests and the code and that it won't happen again. Maybe

    But did you write a test for the tests? 🤓

    @ColleenV Quis test ipsos tests?

  • @VLAZ That was my first thought, but I couldn’t remember the Latin.
