Whats wrong with having an option? I'm not saying it should be manditory ๐

Additionally some times I just open lemmy (and Reddit in the past). To check inbox. Push notifications disables that need (no notifications = conversation hasnโt progressed much = no need to open app ๐).
I love wefwef/voyager. This might not be a normal feature people use but I love wefwef's deep linking feature (on android). I have a push notification system for lemmy which detects incomming emails from lemmy and uses ntfy to send reddit sync like push notifications. In wefwefs case I can set ntfy to open voyagers inbox directly. Voyager is also nice since opening a unread message (or interacting with it) auto marks it as read (which I don't believe other clients do for some reason, I could be wrong though).
A bit of a problem Lemmy doesn't support background push notifications (when not opened in browser tab).
Currently apps like memmy rely on a server to poll Lemmy servers (say ever min) to check for new messages then relay a push message.
Problem is this isn't very scalable (dev reported 3gb of bandwidth used for only 800 accounts).
Maybe lj could go down the swift backup route where purchases are tied to a Google sign in to avoid play services? You could buy the app from Google play via web, download it via aurora, then validate via in app login.

Down side is lj would need a verification server (although he has servers for Reddit sync Imgur which he could repurpose for billing).
Disclaimer I am not a dev just a rando lemmy, Lemite? (Idk what to call a lemmy user)
Second question would the US gov consider google "to big to fail" and just inject a ton of money to restore it (or give enought time to break it up)?
Kinda curious ๐
I doubt people will pay for a windows subscription. Most will stay on 10/11 indefinitely and Microsoft will probably backtrack pretty quickly (look at windows 10 to 11 migration) ๐
Example comment
Sorry by deep link I meant open in function. Version 0.16.0 fixed it

Is it possible to re add deeplinking support. Both wefwef and voyager seem to have lost the feature (Android).
Good to know. Also thanks for making this push notifications are working reliable now ๐
I also changed the default notification sound to harvonicas harp from apollo (reminds me of apollo's push to a degree) ๐ฅฒ
Lemmy is actually interesting as there could be four implementations (or five if you consider none).
Just some thoughts
