Hello 👋
On Meta each time I receive a notification in my profile picture and I press it, the number count does not go down despite the notification being dismissed in the list, the notifications get stuck until I refresh.

> The notification count on my avatar also doesn’t update once the notifications are read, or when I receive new ones. (Not sure why there are 2 reply notifications now, I am used 1 which was caused by [Sticky unread reply notification](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sticky-unread-reply-notification/384961)) This is what I see after reload
