so do any mastodon mobile apps do push notifications yet?
i'm using mastalab rn and i'm pretty sure it only does pull notifications? i don't see any of the other apps mentioning that they do push and i reckon that's something they'd be bragging about if they had it? hmm
@00dani I'm pretty sure Mastalab actually does push notifications? Can confirm Tootdon definitely does however. I believe Pawoo also seems to, and Subway Tooter seems to have the option buried in here somewhere.
@sky hmm, my mastalab notifications always seem to arrive in delayed batches, as though it's just pulling them every few minutes :/ maybe it's my instance at fault or something, idk
@00dani Not sure! I'm definitely not a technical user but when I installed it it asked me which toots I wanted to receive Push Notifications for, and after a look through the settings I couldn't find any options for setting a pull interval.
@sky hmm. did you install mastalab from f-droid or from google play? because it just occurred to me that the f-droid version might not support push notifications, since a lot of android apps use google cloud messaging for that :o
@sky hm. there goes that idea. i definitely AM a technical user so i checked mastalab's source code for any use of google cloud messaging (or its replacement, firebase cloud messaging) and nada :/
hmmmmmm
@00dani A mystery... I guess at least Firefox Mobile gives me pretty consistent notifs from the web UI, so that might be an option? I personally find it a bit more clunky than an app but.
@00dani I have the Google Play version, that would make sense.
