New install of xfce, notifications not working at all

on a new install via offline installer, notifications not working at all.
normally i run browser in workspace 1 and discord in workspace 2, not receiving any notifications, looked at settings notifications cannot see any obvious error

Try notify-send "Test".

If that doesn’t work then your statement might be accurate. Otherwise, it might be Discord with the problem (in addition to being proprietary, closed-source software).

You could check status with

systemctl --user status xfce4-notifyd

Edit: This shows can’t be found but yet it works with @jonathon command.
