Maybe it isn't needed but are there any Lemmy iOS clients able to recieve push notifications?
I’ve been going from app to app, some clients have a push notification setting but I’m still not getting anything when I’m outside of the app. What’s causing this? And are there apps where push notifications are working currently?
I use Arctic on iOS just for push notifications, works perfectly. Can't find any working client for android though. I have tried few of them, some have notifications option but no way to turn them on for a specific account.
Lemmy as a protocol does not currently support push notifications. The best an app could do is to stay running and constantly check for new messages, but that is far from an ideal workaround.
Ah, noted. Thank you!
I know Thunder on Android has push notifications because it checks once every 15 minutes for anything new. But I do not know about iOS.
Ahh, thank you.
Checking at a regular interval is "pull" (not push) though. Push means the client keeps a low-bandwidth connection to the server open so the server can notify the client as soon as something has happened.
