This is just a concern I had with the client. Back during the good ol’ Reddit days, I get notified about a post/comment reply immediately when it happens. I have since left that website, and for some reason I don’t know why this isn’t a feature yet.
And yes I have tried Connect for Lemmy, I had major problems with that app.
It’s just hasn’t been added yet. For that feature it would have to continuously poll in some interval in the a background for each account. Since the websocket API is removed.
Oh wow. Who knew how complicated that is.
Do you know if there’s an address to a users messages? I’m wondering if I could use Tasker to query it and use Pushover to send notification when a notification come in.
Yeah it’s a json rest API so you could easily write a script to poll for new messages. This is unfortunately the most authoritative implementation at the moment: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client
The API endpoints? It is
instance/api/v3/user/unread_count?auth=TOKENAnd thisinstance/api/v3/private_message/list?page=1&unread_only=true&auth=TOKEN
