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…
Same here. I shut off notifications for many apps. Don’t want things popping up randomly. The things will be there when I’m ready to open it.

… every 30 minutes? gotta admit… i like it a little more fast-paced.

yea, rss readers are a balance. my biggest problem with them is that they all seem feature-incomplete and the variety of features is so varied between them. android in particular has never seemed to have the “right” reader for me. recently i tried to love thunderbird on desktop, but i’m afraid liferea is a pretty clear winner in this regard.
my frustration with finding a decent rss reader is a major contributing factor in my quest to learn python.

thanks for the tip if i ever get a machine i can dedicate to hosting an rss reader i may do that.
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.
admittedly, that is what I’m doing. wanna geek out about mail clients?
Well, I just use the provider’s app, InstAddr. POP3 and SMTP are a premium feature. But anyway, it works well.
I’m using deltachat: it lets me set notification sounds on a per-contact basis. it’s not per-lemmy-user but it’s still nice to know that it’s a Lemmy notification just by hearing it.
I’m very proud of clipping out the bit in Madonna’s “like a virgin” where she says “hey!”
How do you do that? I’ve gone through every setting I can find and I can’t figure out how to get email notifications.
Click on your account, go to settings, in the section with checkboxes near bottom there’s option “Send notifications to e-mail”.
I finally see it, but it’s grayed out. That’s why I never noticed it. I can’t click on it.
Do you have an email set on your account?
I don’t remember. I’ve looked everywhere to see if I have one, or if I could add one, but I can’t figure out where that would be.
Same settings page, at the top, between Bio and Matrix user settings.
Well, you have proven me to be completely incompetent in finding things on my own.
If you use an rss reader, there’s a feed of replies you can subscribe to. Extremely convenient!
