Yeah, turns out that all those new good people that’s stuff I thought was good and wanted to see what else they were going to post -they came into my account switched to ‘Off’ for ‘receive new posts’ and ‘receive new comments’ so whenever anyone I followed posted anything new (except for three people) I would not get notified.
I don’t understand why the default setting would come in like that. I actually looked for this before but finally I have discovered where to set these notifications manually (individually) and now I feel like an idiot but really, there’s nothing new there.
Problem solved.
