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
I prefer it that way… I don’t need to be notified immediately, I can just catch up/reply whenever I open Jerboa next.
I wondered that as well but assumed it was because this app is still in Alpha status. I'm surprised they haven't added it in yet.
Also it's weird that your notifications in-app don't switch to "read" status unless you reply. Sometimes I have nothing to say to someone who replied to me and the notifications are piling up lol
There's a button to mark a reply as read though
There is a button to mark as read, aswell a mark all as read button.
Gotta mark as read until the number disappears, then swipe down to refresh.
Fixed now in 0.0.41
Jerboa
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.
