How to notify on every new post for a specific community? (discuss.ntfy.sh)

Is it possible for Lemmy to send me a notification whenever somebody submits a new post to a specific community (one that I own)?

I started a project-specific community [email protected] that's supposed to be a support forum, and I have missed a few posts for many hours because there are no notifications.

I'd be ok too if there was a simple API and I'd have to write a small script, but it'd be nicer if it was built-in

Yeah but you would have to know what posts are new and not already known.

That's what saving the IDs is for right? It's easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I'll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.

But i would not know how to save the ids there. But good luck :)

Here ya go. ChatGPT did all the hard work: https://chat.openai.com/share/7703dbe5-6801-4d5b-8d56-c3f18ca3ac4a
