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?

If you're on Android, BuzzKill can set your notifications to "cool down", so if you get multiple within a short time, you will only get buzzed again once a set amount of time has passed.

Android has this built in, under notifications set the minimum time between notifications.

No it doesn't. Sadly, maybe some vendors include it. But android doesn't have this. Source Pixel 8 Pro.

I would love an option to only send me a notification from said app, if I haven't received on in the last x amount of time. But its not in Android by default.
