Did you use push notifications on reddit in the past? Do you wish Lemmy had push notifications? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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 find them useful so I can see when someone replies to me. It's a thing that apps have, I kinda expect Lemmy apps to have it.

Currently my work around is MonitoRSS and a discord channel to scan my lemmy inbox every 10 min. It kinda works but the down side is their are times I might see a messageon lemmy then discord notifies me later.

I suppose lemmy apps could use a polling based system but I wonder if their is a way to enable push (granted if one is willing to make the privacy trade off and use apple push notification or google firebase push notification).

The web-UI uses WebSocket to get notifications, which provides fairly low latency (at the cost of having to have a WebSocket eternally open). I'm not sure which (if any) of the Lemmy clients make use of it other than the web-UI, though.
