Probably because I don’t know Discourse, but every time I start it, it says “New(3)” somethings. But that doesn’t appear to corrsespond to actual new things.
Now it’s “fixed” I think. It has been stuck at 3 for several days, suddenly I see it as 1 for the first time , and that seems to match up with actual new posts
Yeah when you make an account there is a bot that messages you that counts towards that as well.
