Maybe I’m being stupid but where are the notification settings?

I cant see anything in the app, in droid settings it looks as though the permissions haven’t been requested?

Am on GrapheneOS if that helps.

    Can you do something like Boost (or others) for reddit that checks every X mins? Not sure if uses Google Notification system (forgot the name) but it’s doable…?

      I can’t, since I’m not a voyager developer. But as far as I know you have to rely on some notification system. Not sure if this can be had for free, but I know Google’s is very much not privacy respecting - which is why privacy focused phone OSs don’t bundle it.

        For example Telegram FOSS and Element use a workaround to avoid using the google tool for this: If you make a permanent notification that is visible in Android’s notifications menu, you can make this feature work. It’s a bit stupid that there is constantly the Telegram logo and the Element logo visible on the upper bar on my phone’s screen, but in the end that doesn’t really matter.

          I wasn’t clear whether you thought I was part of the team or not, so I decided to clarify. But yeah, it’s a common issue among open source apps.
