Why Do Steemit Notifications Stop Working?

EDIT: Notifications are back! (But where did they go and why?)

Has anyone else noticed this?


It seems to happen off and on. I wrote it off as a random quirk the last time it happened, but I seem to notice it more now. A social media site is much less engaging without those little red notifications to keep feeding our addiction and let us know about new replies and posts from those we follow. What's the deal?

I thought it might be something on my browser, but I also noticed the same thing on my phone:

I searched the Github repo to see if there was an open issue about this, but didn't find anything. Anyone know what's up? I asked in steemspeak.com and seemit.chat and didn't get an answer so I'm posting here.

Little inconsistencies like this can frustrate users and hinder growth.

I'm also just really curious what would make it stop and why it starts back up again. :)

If anyone's got the down low, let us know.
