I'm I the only one who's fine with not having notifications? I personally just open the web/app to see whether there's something new or not.
This goes for all the social media stuff I use... I don't want notifs constantly pushed into my face
this is fine. i happen to want notifs for lemmy and mastodon and email and wikipedia...
Your inbox has an RSS feed that you can hook up to whatever RSS reader you want. Personally I let my Android app watch for notifications every 30 mins, and then KDE Connect will mirror that notification onto my PC when my phone dings.
... every 30 minutes? gotta admit.... i like it a little more fast-paced.
The app I use (Eternity) has options for 15/30/60/etc mins. You can theoretically get notifications every second if you set up your own RSS reader to check that quickly (though be considerate of your instance's resources). Before I settled on my current solution I had an RSS reader check every so often and ding a desktop notification when it found something. I use 30 minutes because if I'm using Lemmy I'll see the notification alert anyway, and if I'm away from Lemmy I don't want to be notified potentially every 15 minutes when people keep replying.
A number pops up next to the bell icon on the top right corner
Set a alarm for 9am every day to remember to check it. Back in my day we had to walk to the mail box to check if we had mail.
So, am I the only one using e-mail notifications? It's basically instant.
If you use an rss reader, there's a feed of replies you can subscribe to. Extremely convenient!
