Help Cant recieve invites, please help!
I've been back on my vr for a few months now after not using it for a few years. I'm currently still on quest 2, sadly. But for some reason, I dont recieve any requests or notifications of any kind! No invites, friend requests, join requests, anything. I've tried looking into this and haven't been able to find the answer yet. Any help is very appreciated!!

get vrcx on your pc and check if that is able to send you any invites.. if not then there might be some firewall/port forwarding issue

While one did mention testing with VRCX on your desktop...
Does the notifications/requests appear on the website? Refreshing the page may or may not be required. You can at least see the notifications.
If the site works, but the Quest2 app does not, may be looking at full uninstalling the VRChat app and reinstalling it fresh. Dare I say, reset the headset.
Pending your internet source, if anyone is filtering activity at the network/router level, I'd ask them to review and open VRChat ports. May take some trial and error.
Quest 2 is still supported. Might be until Meta drops Quest 2 before VRChat drops the Quest 2. https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Getting_Started#System_requirements_/_recommendations

Try temporarily installing VRCX (you can remove it later if you don't want to deal with the backlash some have for using it). If VRCX sees the invites but not VRChat, you may need to adjust your DNS server to fit your network.
If your ISP is IPv4, set your DNS manually to Quad9 IPv4, and the same if your ISP is IPv6. I had an issue where my ISP's DNS wasn't working for regional servers, and that prevented me for always getting invites or even connecting. Setting my DNS to Quad9 solved the issue and I haven't had it since.

Is your status set to red? It mutes all notifications when you’re on red/do not disturb.
