The temporary change was literally just me commenting out lines 136-167 of src/Module/Notifications/Ping.php. The larger change I was talking about would be to add a toggle button that would do the same thing with an if statement like what I did with the group level unread counters. For my server the top level one alone is/was a substantial amount of my database usage. If the flag is always there and is always 999+ after 10 minutes then it really doesn't add any value to me but it is causing a lot of DB work.

@Hank G ☑️ How about reducing the limit to 100 instead of 1000 ?

It hits that within two update cycles at most. I thought about tracking it but if I recall correctly it was at 175 or something like that at the one minute mark. So it essentially will always tell me I have new network activity.

@Hank G ☑️ Yes but the DB work will be less for the same display relevance (99+ or 999+ looks like the same).

Agree but if it essentially always comes back with the same answer why bother having it do any work at all? I understand that for people that follow a lot less people and/or a lot less chatty people it may be a decent thing to have. It just isn't for my use case at all. That's why the code change I would consider making would be to make it toggleable.

@Hank G ☑️ Indeed. In my own use it rarely goes above 25.
