wait, when i silence a post, i still get a notification indicator when someone interacts to it? just no new text once i go to the notifs tab?
yup, unsilenced the posts and they showed up on top of notifications, implying that's what was happening
this makes silencing posts worse than not silencing them
apparently this is a known issue ;_;

Yeah, this has been a pet peeve of ours and something we actually had to design around in chutils.
Basically, cohost will serve notifications for everything: deleted or blocked users, deleted or silenced posts, basically all manner of things it really shouldn't (same reason for why comment counts on posts are frequently wrong). However, obviously it can't actually show you those users or posts directly, so the server won't send the the post or user data in the API request, and it just ends up as an undefined property somewhere. The notification displays (both in chutils and cohost itself) just rely on catch statements to toss out those empty notifications.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to make the count accurate via chutils without consuming the notification request and thus effectively reading them from the server's point of view and clearing the unread count, but I could look into it more.
