How to notify on every new post for a specific community? (discuss.ntfy.sh)

Is it possible for Lemmy to send me a notification whenever somebody submits a new post to a specific community (one that I own)?

I started a project-specific community !ntfy@discuss.ntfy.sh that's supposed to be a support forum, and I have missed a few posts for many hours because there are no notifications.

I'd be ok too if there was a simple API and I'd have to write a small script, but it'd be nicer if it was built-in

Thanks dude. I'm going to try the curl route. What do you mean by it sends you every post? Isn't that what I want?

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but you would have to know what posts are new and not already known.

That's what saving the IDs is for right? It's easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I'll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.

But i would not know how to save the ids there. But good luck :)
