Hey, I hope this is the right community for this question :))

I volunteer at a local place, but they only communicate through a facebook group that I never check. My question is -

Is there a way to get a notification, whenever there’s a new post in the group, hopefully through some FOSS :))

    I have looked several times and not been able to find anything. Facebook knows people want this and they know they don’t want you to have this. They dedicate resources, legal and technological, to ensure that the only way to interact with Facebook is through their designated data-mining channels.

    My advice would be to let the organization know that you don’t have a Facebook account and if they want your help to volunteer that they need to use a platform that doesn’t exploit it’s users for profit. It’s a totally unreasonable expectation.

        Make your objections known, offer to help the transition, but it’s likely worth it to accept the tradoff and participate via Facebook when they don’t make effort to change.
