the bot has been marked as bot since the very beginning and is also clearly marked as bot in the screenshot, so your comment does not apply here.
that looks like photon, which lemdro.id is using as default interface.
there has been a feature request to add language selection to it, but it doesn't seem to have been picked up yet: https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/issues/182
unfortunately lemmy still doesn't provide a great user experience today for posting content in other languages. many users don't realize that they should be setting the languages they want to see in their profile, so your audience with a properly language-tagged post will probably be substantially smaller than the number of people who could understand your post. additionally, many third party apps/interfaces and even the official mobile app don't support language selection yet when posting.
i recommend using https://l.lemdro.id/ for posting with the appropriate language tag, which is the official standard lemmy web interface. for comments it doesn't matter that much imo.
no, the join was bad
we were only counting users active in the last 6 months (based on lemmys active user stats) for this calculation. with the update to lemmy 0.19 back in march 2FA for all existing users was reset, so all users that had 2fa set up before and never reactivated it wouldn't count towards this, nor would users that weren't active at all since then.
I believe I found the root cause, as you have configured your account not to show bot accounts.
the lemmy version used on lemmy.world does not currently filter those out, even though they are not shown in the actual message view.
this was fixed for a newer lemmy version already, but it should be a rather simple backport.
i've put it on my list of potential backports.
meanwhile you can try enabling showing bot accounts in your account settings and you should see all those messages. feel free to disable it again afterwards.
We'll never login to your account and never ask you for your password.
We can check these things in a different way, but it would save time to just have this information provided by you, so we can see which area to look at. The notification number in the top right takes 3 different numbers as inputs and only shows the sum of all of them, and each one of them has different logic working behind it.
There is only a single link. If you're currently using an app you might need to do this from a browser.
if you visit https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/unread_count (in a signed-in session) you can see where these numbers are coming from.
if you could share these numbers in a pm to me i can take a look at where the difference may be coming from.
it would also be useful which 2 messages you are seeing, at least the type of them (pm, mention, reply).
it was a significant part of the brand of a spam/advertisement campaign several months ago
so far this has been a single case with kbin.earth and lots and lots of cases with kbin.social.
no other instances have been observed behaving like this yet.

the bot has been marked as bot since the very beginning and is also clearly marked as bot in the screenshot as @blackn1ght@feddit.uk already mentioned.
i also just checked on db0 in case there was some federation issue that would have the account not be marked as bot over there and it's also clearly marked as bot when viewed on db0.
