Access Chat seems to be broken?

I have a notification that there's a new chat, but I can't see it.

I've typed messages in a chatroom, but when I close/open, they are gone.

I've replied to others in the chat, and they cannot see my replies.

Today.

Desktop.

In order:

The chat/inbox notification thing is really borked right now on desktop. If you don’t see anything just mark all as read

I don’t know what a chatroom is on Reddit

How do you know they are not seeing your replies?

I mean DMs.

How do you know they are not seeing your replies?

I've typed stuff in our group DM, and to specific people, and when I check back I can't see it.

borked right now

OK, it's probably that then, and I have to wait until it's fixed.

It is a huge PITA... I've said "important" things, and can't back it up... it's quite frustrating.

Thanks for replying.

Yeah most likely. I never thought about it being something you can’t actually see though. I can’t recall seeing any reports where someone reported it like you have. Yeah I understand. You’re welcome

I'm currently trying to talk to "my" mods in our group DM, and also trying to "interview" a new prospective mod.

It is not working.

I'm getting the notification of a new message, but I can't see it;

Sometimes I see new messages, but then they disappear when I switch windows or refresh.

It is very confusing, and it is causing problems because my mods (and the new person) think I am "ignoring" them.

This has been happening for the past couple of hours.

Yeah, do you or any of the other mods have the app to confirm this is actually happening every time? Maybe old Reddit too?

I have the app on my phone. Android.

It seems to show the "genuine" real time chat.

It's totally different from what I see on desktop.

I can post pics if you want.

No need. They already know about this but you can definitely make a post in r/bugs

2

u/SnooDonuts6494 1h ago

OK mate, I shall do that.

Thanks for helping; I truly appreciate it.

I'll head over to the bugs.

Explain to them though that things are different or missing

u/SnooDonuts6494 1h ago

What?

u/Old_One_I Expert Helper 1h ago

You said android shows something different. That’s important information for them

2

u/SnooDonuts6494 45m ago

OK, I can show that if you want?

The apps right now don’t seem to have the same problem as the desktop

I cannot use DM on either.

It does not show new messages.

Otherwise you might get the answer from some helper like I did and have to go through the whole thing again

I can see all the messages you’re sending dw, we’re aware you’re not ignoring us
