Your inbox has an RSS feed that you can hook up to whatever RSS reader you want. Personally I let my Android app watch for notifications every 30 mins, and then KDE Connect will mirror that notification onto my PC when my phone dings.
How do you get notified of replies on lemmy?

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

The app I use (Eternity) has options for 15/30/60/etc mins. You can theoretically get notifications every second if you set up your own RSS reader to check that quickly (though be considerate of your instance’s resources). Before I settled on my current solution I had an RSS reader check every so often and ding a desktop notification when it found something. I use 30 minutes because if I’m using Lemmy I’ll see the notification alert anyway, and if I’m away from Lemmy I don’t want to be notified potentially every 15 minutes when people keep replying.

A number pops up next to the bell icon on the top right corner

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.

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.
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
Click on your account, go to settings, in the section with checkboxes near bottom there’s option “Send notifications to e-mail”.

If you use an rss reader, there’s a feed of replies you can subscribe to. Extremely convenient!

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

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.
