I did some looking up and there doesn’t seem to be an option for it.
There was some discussion here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2631
I don’t think there’s an option for it in a regular web browser. I have the Boost app on my phone and get notifications that way
As a workaround, if you go to your notifications inbox page, near the top right of the content area there is a little “feed” icon. It is a link to a private RSS feed to your notifications. You can use an RSS reader like a standalone application or a browser plugin to monitor. You can get a notification that way.
Above instructions are for the default lemmy interface as it appears on desktop. You can’t find the link in some other interfaces. And kbin doesn’t have notification inbox at all that I can find.

Presumably so they can be notified of messages when using a browser. They’re no different than any other notifications.

You didn’t really support your argument.

An unsupported opinion is one you should probably keep to yourself tbh. It adds exactly zero value to the discussion at hand.
I explained why they want that. You haven’t offered anything to explain why they are “gross”.
