A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat (self.showerthoughts)

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I'm part of. Maybe I'm concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you forget to check it, or get added to a new one, you can't really do anything about it. I just want to be able to get notified once that the chat has new messages, decide how I want to react, and then move on from it. Is that too much to ask?

Matrix can send notification via ntfy? Do you have more info on that?

No. I know it was something I configured in FluffyChat, and for that to work it must have sent the configuration to the Synapse server; my account is on matrix.org. This is in the Notifications settings of FluffyChat:

Tusky (Mastodon) can also use ntfy, so Mastodon server(s) must support it too. Ring, most (all?) of the Futo communications apps, like Circles. I think ntfy is common for the fdroid/OSS app developers; I see it a lot in OSS apps, like Home Assistant.
