@freemo Offtopic: I thought I was imagining it, but I really don't get notifications at the moment. For at least 20 minutes or so now, while it's usually instantaneous.

@trinsec hmm weird im getting them. You tried clearing cache and refreshing?

@freemo Of course it'd help if notifications was set to 'All'. Disregard that. :P (Though I think it still should notify you, no matter what part of the notifaction tab is activated at the moment... O.o)

@trinsec lawl, ignored :)

@freemo Actually, more like an impending freature request or a doublecheck: If you've set your notification on, let's say... 'boosts', would you still get notification of non-boost related stuff? I think you still should. I bet you wouldn't get them.

@freemo (Mine was somehow set on 'favorites' earlier and I didn't get normal replies-notifications.)

@freemo (With that I mean the little blue circle with the number of unread stuff on the notifications tab in the main timeline, it should show regardless of notification type IMO).

@trinsec You only get notifications for what sows in notifications I think

@freemo Fun, so if someone misclicked once onto 'poll results' without noticing, they would feel extremely alone very quick, thinking nobody ever replied to them.. :P

@trinsec Yup, I did that once :)

@freemo Man, that must've hurt your ego, to have everybody seemingly not responding to you anymore. ;)

@freemo For a first day and second day it's all still extremely unreliable. And I've read somewhere from a German study that if you have no symptoms, the quick selftest would be only 15% reliable too. I'm glad it's almost over now if no new variant pops up. :P

@trinsec I've had symptoms for like a week, took a pcr test early on and was negative so assumed it was something else.. second pcr test was positive. So chances are im at the end of the sickness.

Thing that threw me off other than the negative pcr test is because i also clearly had some TD or gardia or something that gave me two things at once and it was rather confusing what was going on.

@freemo You're a righteous mess looks like, heh. But the PCR tests are usually the most reliable of those covid tests.

Symptoms of gardia (never heard of it before) doesn't seem to match covid's. What's TD standing for?

@trinsec TD = Travelers Diarrhea

Giardia and TD have similar symptoms, mostly diarrhea and stomach pain. Both of these can be symptoms of covid so there is some overlap there. I had the cough of covid and loss of smell so my first guess was covid as it is a closer match (though rarely causes diarrhea as severe as I had). but once covid came back negative I was stuck looking for less likely matches. The loss of smell was partial and lasted only one day so i ruled it out as psychosomatic at which point gardia/TD fit just didnt explain the cough.

@freemo The first test coming back as negative was maybe because it was too early stage and not enough buildup in your throat and nose? Since the 2nd one was positive? Just throwing out ideas there. So you're basically waiting for the 3rd PCR test which would confirm that this is over now?
