@noellabo @circledev On my testing server the recipient always receives a notification when someone that they follow posts something in a circle. I think the backend probably treats circle posts like DMs. But I don't think it's a good idea to send notification for every circle post.
@noellabo @circledev I haven't tested on Fedibird yet and am not sure if it's the same for Fedibird. My development server runs a slightly different version of code from the Fedibird's.
@noellabo @circledev I have looked through the code.
To me Line 48 of process_mentions_service.rb seems to be causing the trouble.
If a group member is local then the mention will always go through LocalNotificationWorker, but that worker does not handle "silent" mentions.
Remote circle members do not receive notifications, but local members will.
