Which app did that? I only got notifications when someone replied to a comment/post I made.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

On the official app you would get notifications at certain milestones (1 upvote, 5 upvotes, 10 upvotes, 20 upvotes, 1000 upvotes, etc.).
Ah gotcha. Thanks
It was a New Reddit/official app thing
I think that was in Reddit itself, not any app. You know, apps just display notifications, and reddit creates them.
And yeah, as another user noted, this happened at different "milestones" like 1, 5, 10, 20 etc.
Nah it definitely was not just a reddit itself thing.
Reddit would send notifications to your reddit inbox even on desktop. Don't remember getting any for 1-20 though. If hadn't viewed the old notification, you wouldn't get the notification for the milestone.
The "official app" experience is not everyone's experience tho. Of course several people say theirs didn't change, but they were accepting shit anyways.
I believe you could also turn off vote notifications, I did im pretty sure. And you could also turn of replies too.
Also do you mean notifications in the notifications section of the app or push notifications to your phone?
