I’m using the wefwef PWA with Firefox for Android.

Is there a way to receive notifications from a Webapp? Currently I have to open the app to see inbox notifications.

    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).
