Over the weeks I've sent a bunch of messages, like offering mod positions, asking for things etc. and I get no responses to about half of them.

Sure, nobody owes me a reply, but I'm wondering if there's a different reason, such as:

Ignoring all notifications, because there's no immediate distinction between a DM or a comment reply
Using an app that doesn't support messages (which one would that be?)
Federation issues (when sending a DM to a different instance)

Thoughts?

Msg received, all ok, so federation is not the thing.

Yup, at least not at this moment.

Yeah, federation is being creaky globally right now. The GitHub issue list is littered with admins reporting intermittent federation issues.

I wouldn't expect it to repeatedly prevent communication though. Just maybe some intermittent issues occasionally.
