Opening a community with an unread channel sometimes leaves the new message missing until refresh

(#3893) Bug Open: Needs triage channels community messaging
by HampusStaff

Reproduction steps

(best guess, not confirmed)
  1. Open Fluxer on web or desktop.
  2. Don't open community A at all during this session.
  3. Wait until community A shows an unread in the community list.
  4. Click community A. It opens to the channel that has the unread.

Expected behaviour

The channel shows the new message and the unread clears.

Actual behaviour

The unread stays stuck and the new message isn't shown. Refreshing the client shows the message and clears the unread.

The red "NEW" line doesn't clear until I move away from the channel.

Could not reproduce Platform: Linux Build information: Canary Desktop 2026.1009.45608, Web 2026.1011.165018, Linux 7.2.9-2-cachyos (x64), Electron 44.4.1, Chrome 152.0.7977.78, Node 24.21.0, Locale en-US Tried ~8 times, a couple different scenarios like when the unread message in the community is in a different channel from the one you land in when clicking the community. Each attempt, I restarted Fluxer in a different community to best emulate "open fluxer and don't open the community at all". Couldn't reproduce, didn't notice any other irregularities either
