This number is getting pretty big. What is this, like, XP or something? Can I level up? Is it bad? Does anything happen if it gets too big?

Isn't that notifications? Like people responding to your comments/posts, people tagging your username, people DMing you

When I hover over the image you posted, it says "739 unread messages", did you name the image that yourself? If so, then don't you already know what the number means?

Alt text is sacred.

Okay the thing is it takes many seconds for the number to actually appear after I load a page and I wonder, is this an especially heavy hit on the database? Am I killing lemmy.ca?
