Hi guys, out of curiosity when you used reddit sync did you use the notifications feature?

If so did you use push notifications from the official reddit app or polled notifications (ie sync checkes every 60min, 2hrs, etc)?

Lastly hypothetically if sync for lemmy had notifications features similar to sync for reddit would you use star/continue to use instant push notifications/polling based push notifications?

Curious on your thoughts.

Mainly battery limitations (could prevent doze and/or cause a wake lock) and possible increase in server load for instances (your device would have to maintained a persistent connection to lemmy instance).

That's true, so sounds like a nice compromise that also follows the official pattern in a way.
