Do people not read messages? (lemmy.world)

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:

  1. Ignoring all notifications, because there's no immediate distinction between a DM or a comment reply

  2. Using an app that doesn't support messages (which one would that be?)

  3. Federation issues (when sending a DM to a different instance)

Thoughts?

I use Memmy, and there’s no obvious DM section that I can find.

That might be the key to the mystery.

I just checked: there is an option for them in Voyager, nee wefwef.

That and the option to go back to the post - instead of just your comment - under your comments makes Voyager a tempting switch, but I’m getting used to Memmy and it seems to load faster.

I’m torn. :/
