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?

~~Where? If I click on my profile I only see messages I've posted.~~

Oh, it's the bell at the top left, I had no idea. Kinda the same ambiguous UX as on Lemmy, would be nice if it had a dedicated inbox tab on the bottom.

I believe Lemmy bundles both messages and reply notifications together.
