Inbox notifications? (self.syncforlemmy)

I'm not getting notified when I have a reply to my posts. Is there some setting I am missing?

I realize push notifications are an extra paid feature. Not asking about push notifications, just asking about some indication that I have replies when I open the app.

There's this

[โ€“] Lightborne 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks. I use the side drawer navigation though, not the bottom bar.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree there should be a visual notification in the side drawer too.

Maybe you could open an issue on the GitHub.

[โ€“] Lightborne 1 points 1 year ago

Will do, I thought he was active here but GitHub seems the better place.

Hey, since you use side drawer nav, I was wondering if Sync crashes for you if you go to your inbox from the left drawer and change from that spot (maybe "all replies"?) to another spot like " all mentions"?

  • Left drawer
  • inbox button
  • change view (from all replies to unread mentions, for example)
  • Crash?

Thanks, if you decide to test and reply! (And have a good day, either way!)

[โ€“] Lightborne 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep! It does crash. Weird!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry and thank you! It was another oddity that I noticed, but wasn't sure if it was just me. I appreciate you testing that for me!

The app doesn't feature any form of notifications, just a small badge on the inbox tab when you open the app rn.

[โ€“] Lightborne 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would be nice if there was a badge on the three-line hamburger menu as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, in my experience, with the side drawer nav, there doesn't seem to be a badge. Only in the bottom nav. And it's not really useful to me since it doesn't seem to show up until hours later, and even then I basically just go to the inbox itself to check.

[โ€“] cory_lowry 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I agree. Could always submit an issue on GitHub and see if the dev wants to add it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did I do it right? (I've only submitted one other issue, ever, but don't know if I got it right.)

[โ€“] cory_lowry 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, looks right

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It didn't look like there was a related issue, so I submitted one. Hope I captured the spirit of the issue - feel free to comment there if I missed something!

Hey, very helpful! Thanks.

[โ€“] CoolMatt 3 points 1 year ago

I don't get notifications, badges, or even push notifications, nothing. I'm using the paid app. I have to remember to go to inbox and check for messages once every couple days
