The discussion revolves around the inconsistent behavior of notifications for group private messages. kuba-orlik reports that receiving a single message in a group results in an aggregate notification showing a count of “16” and lacking the thread title, unlike regular message notifications. sam explains this occurs when a group is being tracked, which provides a summary of non-archived messages, whereas watching the group yields individual notifications for each reply. kuba-orlik clarifies that even with groups set to “watch,” aggregate notifications persist, suggesting the issue may be related to historic private messages. sam confirms that new messages do trigger individual notifications, and kuba-orlik asks if there’s a way to disable aggregate notifications for old PM threads.
There’s a couple of things I don’t get about this:
even though I received only one message, the counter says “16”;
the notification does not display the title of the message thread it relates to, which is different from how a notification for a “regular” message would behave.
Why do notifications for group messages behave so differently? Is there a way to make them behave like notifications for regular messages?
Hm… I’ve set up all the groups to “watch”, but I still receive only the aggregate notification. Could you please explain in more detail what I need to do in order to receive notifications for each individual reply?
