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.

    I never stopped to consider what type of notifications Sync used, but ability to receive notifications are a priority for me. I participate actively in discussions and don’t like to leave people hanging if they have interesting responses/questions/etc to something I posted. So knowing when someone has replied to any of my posts is very helpful in that regard, versus when I occasionally remember to check my inbox probably days later after the discussion has already ended.
