I feel like my experience with notifications has been pretty bad recently – something like, I’ll get a few notifications, go follow the link on one, and then all the others will disappear and there’s no longer any way to find out what they were. Hard to confidently replicate because I can’t generate notifications on demand, but that’s my impression.
Oh gosh, do you mean that literally they no longer appear in the list in the dropdown? Or do you mean that you perceive it that way because all the notifications get marked as read when you open the dropdown?
I would love to hear more thoughts from others as well, about what specific things about notifications they find frustrating about the current setup, or examples of sites that do notifications particularly well.
Ah thanks for clarifying! Now I see what you mean. Yeah I think that has been an issue with the karma notification system for a while, and we didn’t fix it when we updated the UI. I do think getting notifications right is pretty important, so I’ll plan on getting our team to look into this issue.

I get exactly the same: it’s the upvote/​reactions notifications, not the replies
