Hi everyone! I recently switched from Reddit and I'm using Voyager on Android. I never get a notification when someone replies to me or sends me a message. I only see them when I open the app.
Android notifications are allowed for the app, so it doesn't look like a settings issue on my side.
Thanks in advance!
AFAIK that's by design. The author does not want to have the attention grabbing cycle of notifications in the app.
why this ?
Because it's attention grabbing. Your attention should be elsewhere, not on social media
I think the app might be just a wrapper for the web version.
Did you download from F-Droid? It might be that some library (that's necessary for notifications) can't be included there because it's proprietary.
They should add NextPush support
Nextpush ?
Sorry, meant UnifiedPush, NextPush is just the UnifiedPush app I add to my phone to use my NextCloud server as my notifications push relay. There are others. But basically allows you to self host notifications while only requiring the developer to integrate the api calls from the UnifiedPush push library.
Tusky and Element both support this on Android.
