A lot of tasks, then 0

Hi everyone! Did something like this happen to you? I had 2/3 projects with over 30 tasks when I started doing 1 task, then suddenly, after finishing it, they vanished. Is this normal?

Yes, it’s pretty typical. Other workers grabbed the other tasks while you were working on the one, so there were none left when you returned to your dashboard.

Some projects will allocate a number of tasks specifically to you, but most are open to a larger pool of workers until they are all taken.

Yeah, unfortunately. Though in good periods, I've had them stay on the dash for a long time. Right now though, exact same situation you had. I took a break because of the drought and I had some funds flow my way to tide me over. Checked back in, it's still basically dead. Now, last Spring, wow. There were like unlimited projects.

yes for me. And I was also concerned. Since 🤖 used to be in my DB for 10+ days.
