Not sure if it's a bug or a feature: Notifications for dropped series

Several months back, I dropped a series (and as far as I can tell, the bell icon beside it is off). Today I got a notification that a chapter was uploaded.

Is this a bug, or is this normal and to stop notifications for a series I have to mark it as None instead?

Probably irrelevant, but the series is Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru.

bell has three states: All, Following, and None.(also known as dropped completed and reading etc etc) Simply dropping a series does not automatically set notifications to None it may appear “off,” but the system can still send alerts for new chapters.


To stop notifications entirely for a series such as Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru, follow these super fire steps:

Go to the series page.
Click the bell icon beside the series title.
Select None from the options.

After doing this, you should no longer receive notifications for that series.

If you have already set the bell icon to None and are still receiving notifications, this is likely a bug or a temporary sync issue with MangaDex’s notification system. Sometimes changes to notification settings may not propagate immediately.

didnt see that you already said you done that mb

Actually, did it a long time ago… probably 10 months ago right after the last chapter (before the one that posted today), but possibly 8 or 9 months ago. Thanks for checking in, regardless.

No idea where you got that idea, the dropdown says where to put the title in your library, the bell says whether to put new chapter updates on the updates page and this only has two states, setting the dropdown to none removes the title from your library and (should, there is/was a rare bug (or maybe it was just the request not managing to go through) where it didn't happen) turns off the bell at the same time..

tl;dr refresh the page after turning the bell off and double check that it is actually off, unless we actually have a bug on our hands.

(also, seems like I've watched too many videos on Ai slop, this post almost reads like by one)

Well, my bad I didn’t know. I guess I also don’t use Ai it’s just how I type, which really pisses me off. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. My bad for leading them the wrong way.
But the way you type makes it seem like you’re mad, in a way not that I’m saying you are.
