[discussion] Push notifications (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Hi guys, out of curiosity when you used reddit sync did you use the notifications feature?

If so did you use push notifications from the official reddit app or polled notifications (ie sync checkes every 60min, 2hrs, etc)?

Lastly hypothetically if sync for lemmy had notifications features similar to sync for reddit would you use star/continue to use instant push notifications/polling based push notifications?

Curious on your thoughts.

I used push notifications for messages, and let Sync get it for me so I didn't install the steaming pile of [redacted] that was the official reddit app.

I was happy even with the necessary delay that induced - I was mainly dealing with either comment replies or notifications from followed authors on /r/hfy

Ah in the past I used push from the official reddit app with sync (no delay).

In the case of Lemmy I have use monito rss with Lemmy inbox rss (poll rate every 10 min).

Ooh, I use Feedly already for (many) RSS feeds, so if that's possible, it'll be useful. Of course, I'm hoping to switch to Sync for Lemmy when it hits - I've pretty much gone cold turkey on Reddit now; it'll be interesting to see if things change over there.

Same here, no other use than replies or Inbox, but I'm more of a lurker than anything else.
