m0useanswered grow question 10 months ago Check your notifications the little bell icon in the top right next to your user icon and logout button. Green + Red Number = number of notifications / White = nothing new
Then check your direct messages aka "DM inbox" Its the little green paper airplane in the bottom right of your browser on a desktop version. Green = messages / White = nothing new
If your mobile its in the sub menus.
This took me over 6 months to figure out, it also was annoying to me as there is no guide for any of this.
Good Luck!
