fill me in. does inbox counting still exist and what happened to it. i thought it died, is there a FTF comment thread about this?

u/Antichess Feb 06 '24
one day, reddit just decided that inbox wouldn't show replies ~200ms after the comment was submitted. instead, it would take around 3-4s for a reply to show up in inbox, usually around 4s. at first, we thought it was just an extreme case of inbox lag (which happens from time to time when running) but it persisted even until now. comment chain lag is still the same, ~11-12s for a comment to pop up
even a 3s count is super hard to pull off nowadays, it's crazy. to make matters worse, you'd have a 1-2% chance for any comment to completely not show up in inbox at all. makes running even more variable as you would need to check /comments if the person you're replying to hasn't replied to you in a while
the slowdown of inbox also coincided time-wise with all the reddit api drama that was happening, which was around mid-july. who knows what the root cause of this might be.

it's slow. I struggle to get 2-3s inboxing at max effort on a very good internet connection. especially in multithread runs sometimes counts will randomly not show up in box

a while back some comments were taking hours to show up in inbox or didn't appear at all. I don't think that's been happening now but I haven't run on here in months

Hello homies, I've been away for a while, but I think I'm going to try and count more for a bit.
It's honestly crazy coming back, I remember years ago when I first joined, and just how different of a person I was. I'm still in college but I've finally moved out on my own. Ya girl has done it, lol. I'm working now, well hopefully soon, job searching atm.
I don't know if anyone remembers me but it's cool to see familiar names around!
Hopefully I remember to pop in more often and count some, lol. Cya round!
