This feature is a must-have for me. I’ve been searching for a Lemmy client for Android that has this feature, but none of them do. Only Arctic for Lemmy that does have this feature.
I just don’t bother requesting because the response I usually get is that Lemmy doesn’t officially support push notifications, and it’s quite a complex process to implement.
Hopefully they add push notifications for posts, similar to Apollo for Reddit push notifications feature:
“Apollo for Reddit had a feature called “Threshold Notifications”, which allowed users to set up notifications for when a post reached a certain number of upvotes. This was useful for tracking the popularity of a post without constantly checking Reddit.
For example, you could configure Apollo to notify you if a specific post or thread reached 1,000 upvotes. This feature was particularly helpful for keeping an eye on trending content”
I received two messages. The first one was on March 3rd, and the second one was on March 8th. I also received one a few months ago.
Finally, I can get rid of Kindle. Time to self-host!
Well, it keeps you up to date with trending topics without having to open the app itself. You can quickly glance at your notifications. Saving you a lot of time.
