Hi guys curious if in the past with reddit did you use push notifications (via first party app, 3rd party apps, or desktop).

Do you wish it could be expanded to Lemmy?

Or do you think push is to addicting/bad?

Curious on your thoughts

    I would like to have push and know we will in future. I used redreader which would pull for replies once an hour and notify me if anything was new. Though that is less “push” notifications and more “pull” notifications

      In the past I used reddit sync on android. It would intercept push notifications from the official reddit app in the background and replace them with its own (practically instantanious).

        That would mean though that you had to have the official app installed which i would have had no desire to do since you have to get it from google play. Also, you would have to have play services for the push notifications and i dont want play services myself. I run LineageOS with no google apps or services installed
