Did you use push notifications on reddit in the past? Do you wish Lemmy had push notifications? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Hi guys curious if in the past with reddit did you use push notifications (via first party app, 3rd party apps, or desktop).

Do you wish it could be expanded to Lemmy?

Or do you think push is to addicting/bad?

Curious on your thoughts

Personally I wish they’d never been invented, I don’t let any apps send me notifications other than chat apps and even then with no sound and all group chats are muted permanently. I can’t stand the constant ping of apps trying to get you to engage with them, I want to engage on my schedule not anyone else’s especially some Silicon Valley product manager’s. Even in this much quieter state not having my phone feels exactly like not having my baccy felt when I used to smoke, until I got into the Fediverse I was tempted to pull the plaster off entirely and throw it in the sea.

I’m also a bitter and cynical software engineer who should under no circumstances be consulted for UX advice, so it’s probably wise for Lemmy to implement them.
