Unread Count Says 1, While Inbox is Empty
(lemmy.world)
I mainly use the Mlem app, and today I got a notification that I had one new inbox item. When I checked my inbox, I saw that it was empty.
Before I submitted a big report, I wanted to see what happened on the lemmy.world website. As shown in the attached screenshot, it too shows one unread item, but nothing in the inbox.
So Iโm led to believe this is an issue with the server. And if not, then at least I have done my due diligence before reporting this to the Lemmy devs.
In either case, is there anybody here who could help me get this resolved; or at least pointed in the right direction?
Thank you!
curious, what do you mean by checking them?
The Piped bot is checking comments for instances of a YouTube domain and video id (I don't know specifically what it triggers on) and then replies with a link to that video id as a Piped-based one. But what it should also do is check if the initial comment also contains the Piped URL it's about to post and then not reply with a duplicate of that same address.
For example I'd post something like
And the bot would reply offering the exact "Piped mirror" address I had already linked to. This would happen regardless of if I used custom link text or just left it as a raw URL so the bot clearly wasn't doing a check of either method.
