Why does discussions activity not show up in the profile? #69103
-
Select Topic AreaQuestion BodyI take part in project discussions a lot - but I've noticed that this actiivty doesn't show up in the profile activity. Why is this? And even activity which usually updates profile activity, such as creating PRs, issues etc., seems to be delayed. In some cases, it has shown up after a few days, or not shown up at all. |

The lack of immediate updates to your GitHub profile activity is an issue that some users have noticed. This could be due to several reasons: Caching and Update Time: GitHub uses caching to improve site performance. Sometimes, profile activity updates may not be reflected immediately due to cache duration and system update timing. In some cases, it may take a while before the activity appears on your profile. Privacy and Notification Settings: Another possibility is that activity in discussions is not always set to appear on your profile. You can check your privacy and notification settings in your GitHub account to ensure you are allowing this activity to be reflected on your profile. Technical Issues: In rare instances, technical issues can cause delays in profile activity updates. If this persists and appears to be a recurring issue, you may consider contacting GitHub's technical support for specific assistance. Regarding the delay in updating activity related to the creation of PRs, issues, etc., this may also be related to the factors mentioned above. GitHub is constantly working to improve its platform, so it's possible that these issues may be resolved with future updates. If you continue to experience problems with your GitHub profile activity not updating, I recommend reaching out directly to GitHub's technical support for assistance specific to your account and profile. Please note that user experiences may vary based on GitHub's settings and infrastructure, so some delay issues may be resolved over time. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't really say whether it is a bug, yet, because I'm not sure. I can see that Issue and PR activity is reported, so that's fine. I'll try to grab an example if I can next time it happens. |
