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.

Nah, I hate notifications from social media sites like Reddit and such. So I always had those disabled. On my phone, I only need to know when people call or text me, not when someone replies to a comment I made on Reddit.

Same here .... I have Android and whenever I see a new notification from anything, I jump into settings to see which app was involved and disable their notifications.

I even turn off the sound and ignore most of my calls and texts ...... I don't like talking or texting people I know in real life anymore (unless I have to). I only talk, text or chat with people on my terms when I want to.

I already spend too much time on my phone, I don't need it to constantly alert me to look at it again.
