there is no push notification and widget like original Apollo
I think lemmy doesn't currently support push notifications so the app would have to stay awake in the background to check for them
You donβt need to have the app running in the background. Notifications can be pushed from the cloud.
Problem is, that costs money to host and run that job to check for notifications. This is why a lot of small developers end up burying notifications behind a paywall.
So then βburyβ it behind a paywall, why is that bad? A server costs money so let the people who want to use that server pay their part. I see no problem with that.
