What does this number mean?

This number is getting pretty big. What is this, like, XP or something? Can I level up? Is it bad? Does anything happen if it gets too big?

Isn't that notifications? Like people responding to your comments/posts, people tagging your username, people DMing you
When I hover over the image you posted, it says "739 unread messages", did you name the image that yourself? If so, then don't you already know what the number means?
- Alt text is sacred.
Okay the thing is it takes many seconds for the number to actually appear after I load a page and I wonder, is this an especially heavy hit on the database? Am I killing lemmy.ca?
