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:

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?

When I was using Jebora I didn't receive any notifications of comments on my first post. Not sure about direct messages but probably same thing, people just aren't being notified, they'd have to go and check.

It works pretty well for me. (But yes it might also be a problem for some, who knows.)
