From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

lemmy notifications in xfce.. random + intermittent (beehaw.org)

Hello, new lemmy ex-redditor here. Is this a good place for questions?

I decided to try turning on notifications for the lemmy/fediverse sites I am joining the past week or so. I don't usually use notifications on the computer so not sure what is expected.

I am intermittently getting notifications but I can't tell where they are coming from.

They have an avatar and a small amount of text. Clicking on them doesn't have any effect (like bringing you to the originating site). I haven't been able to find matching content in the notifications of any of the sites. They don't seem to have much to do with any conversations I am involved in; I think I am subscribed to some sort of general "new post" or "new comment" thing. I am not getting any notifications that are relevant to me; just these ones.

notifyd tray item is set to log notifications but there is no log... I remember trying to solve that at some point but didn't come up with much and gave up due to low priority.

Is there some way in firefox/linux to track down the events?

They are not like a constant barrage so testing by disabling things and seeing what happens would not be very straightforward.

What is supposed to happen when you enable notifications? Is this typical?

I am using: Xfce 4.18 + firefox
