I've downloaded several Lemmy apps on my Android, and I've noticed that I only receive notifications when I open the app.

Thunder has experimental support for it. You'll also need a unifiedpush distributor installed. F-Droid has a good explainer on UnifiedPush at https://f-droid.org/2022/12/18/unifiedpush.html

I will try that

You will just have to wait until Lemmy officially supports push notifications. It is planned. Anything else is a hack involving polling.

Boost sends me notifications on replies

[–] Alphamars@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's what I am using but I don't get the notification unless I open the app

[–] NemoWuMing@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Might be your settings or permissions

Maybe not what you want, but my solution is email notifications with InstAddr

I've kind of been using that way more than disposable email at this point. The app notifications always work and get received immediately.

I am not sure how trustworthy it is though. I've been using it for years, even for school and work, which is probably not the wisest, but it's worked for me better than others.

does Voyager work with ntfy?

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've come to.like.this behaviour. No notification overload.

[–] Alphamars@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But you do receive notifications from other apps like reddit,Facebook and X. So why is is that you are okay with Lemmy case of no notification?

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago

I don't use those apps.

I have notifications for some other apps that do require prompt action, like WhatsApp.

Shit most of the apps I've tried out don't even correctly tell you you have messages when you open them. Not one seems to poll for messages, replies, or mentions automatically every so often; they all require manually refreshing the message window and even then, sometimes you have to close the entire thing and reopen it (as with Jerboa).
