Then I'll avoid opening the app

Don't allow the apps sending you notifications in the first place

- This is the way. I found I was getting annoyed every time I would feel the buzz of a notification, almost to the point I was ready to throw my phone in a toilet. I ended up disabling notifications for everything but work related stuff, and even that I made sure only pings me during the work hours.

Yeah I've got 141 messages waiting on my lemmy account that I can't be bothered to clear

I feel obligated to respond to most if not all of them because of lemmy's need for content, and I just don't wanna. But I also don't want to just clear them entirely. Some are dating back multiple months...

- Anything past a few days isn’t really adding content at that point.

  Depends on the community. If it's something people might find in search results or something then thats useful.

- Day 68. @empireOfLove still hasn't replied to the "deez nutz" joke I replied with on c/memes. Morale is low and despair is welling but a tiny sliver of hope remains. Will today be the day that @empireOfLove comes through?

- In case you need it, I give you permission to clear any that are over three weeks old. It'll be okay.

- I try to keep up with my lemmy inbox throughout the day, but I post a lot and it really piles up. Side note- I've noticed an uptick in comment activity lately too. The last couple of mornings, I've woken up to 100+ messages. That used to be maybe 35-40.

  FWIW the number of Active Users on Lemmy + KBin has levelled off recently: https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse (i.e. maybe we've stopped losing users from the summer influx? Or maybe lurkers are now commenting more?)

There is a lot of truth in this one. I disabled any push notifications for a long time now. It distracts me too much.

Then what the meme says happened. That led me to reduced the apps I use drastically. I found I didn't need them in the first place.

Email. WhatsApp. SMS for deliveries.

There is literally no need for any other notifications, you're just stressing yourself out otherwise

- There's a few others, such as GitHub pull requests, play store/fdroid updates, bank payment notifications, snapchat (for those that use that, reemember to turn of useless non-notifications). But for the most part, I agree. Turn em off

Hold down on it and go to notification settings and turn them off.

You guys are getting messages?

NCleaner on Android. I set it up, never looked at it again.

No regrets.

- Bruh this gives me anxiety

It's ok to ignore notifications too, you don't need to actively respond to them.

Lemmings have strange problems I've never heard of before.
