It varies. I usually give it a few hours to a day. I have my account set to get notifications twice a day. Also depends on the type of post and activity on the site.

Seem to come up overnight for me.

2 hours or right away.

It depends on the content of your post and also your settings on the site.

I have my settings set so that I dont' get notifications of "likes", because I just want to read responses and comments. I appreciate the likes, but just gettign a like doesn't stimulate my mind.

Some things I post dont' get any rewponse at all. While oen past I made a logn time ago still gets several replies a week.

weeks. everybody ignores me

Hard to answer -- I don't have many original posts. A quick scroll through the "Posts" category shows that there are hundreds of original posts that don't get any replies at all - ever.

Sometimes less than five minutes. Been on here since November and have been messaging with members since then.
