I’m using the wefwef PWA with Firefox for Android.
Is there a way to receive notifications from a Webapp? Currently I have to open the app to see inbox notifications.
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. Having constant notifications certainly doesn’t help lower the dopamine hits. 🧘♂️
Once this gets implemented, it can be added (iOS + Android)! https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3552
A bit of a problem Lemmy doesn’t support background push notifications (when not opened in browser tab).
Currently apps like memmy rely on a server to poll Lemmy servers (say ever min) to check for new messages then relay a push message.
Problem is this isn’t very scalable (dev reported 3gb of bandwidth used for only 800 accounts).
Afaik. Wefwef does not support it yet. It is on their roadmap though. You can find more info on their GitHub.
