Why does the Android version of Jerboa not send me notifications whenever I get a reply? (lemmy.world)

This is just a concern I had with the client. Back during the good ol' Reddit days, I get notified about a post/comment reply immediately when it happens. I have since left that website, and for some reason I don't know why this isn't a feature yet.

And yes I have tried Connect for Lemmy, I had major problems with that app.

It's just hasn't been added yet. For that feature it would have to continuously poll in some interval in the a background for each account. Since the websocket API is removed.

Oh wow. Who knew how complicated that is.

It's not that complicated, it just hasn't been done. Most apps just check every few minutes if there's something to notify the user of.

Do you know if there's an address to a users messages? I'm wondering if I could use Tasker to query it and use Pushover to send notification when a notification come in.

Yeah it's a json rest API so you could easily write a script to poll for new messages. This is unfortunately the most authoritative implementation at the moment: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client

The API endpoints? It is instance/api/v3/user/unread_count?auth=TOKEN And this instance/api/v3/private_message/list?page=1&unread_only=true&auth=TOKEN

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
