I'm assuming this will be added soon, there's still way to go with the app, rn more pressing matters with everything that's happening, bugs and things to get fixed in general.. but we'll get there!

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I understand that. It must be hell right now for everone on the business end the Fediverse. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking it. Thanks!
Since the app is still in alpha, push notifications aren't available yet.
Might be hard since notification servers aren't really free. Plus federated app so can't pick who pays.
I did a quick search, and there is an open enhancement issue on the development page.

I scrolled through there to find it. They have a lot of work ahead of them. I guess I'll just be patient.
Me too.
I did not realize that. I have old apps that haven't been updated in years, particularly for my Pebble, which went out of business in 2016, that still have push notifications working. How are they getting paid for? I know some network services were taken over by Rebble, and their subscriber fee pays for those, but these other apps that aren't tied to the Rebble service still have push notifications. Does it have to do with API access? How does a Lemmy instance access the API for post retrieval, and is that different that for messages? Does it cost more for message retrieval?
I'm very curious to understand this. I'm not a dev, but I do dabble in the area, and I'd like to understand this more, if you have any information you could share on the topic.
Thanks!
I was an Android dev almost a decade ago, and I was misremembering. Native notifications are free. It's when you use specific servers to push em when it costs money.
We were using a proprietary API.
Oh, that makes sense. Thanks.
