wefwef is so good it should be an app and not a web app (lemmy.world)

It would be nice if wefwef supported Push notifications but I don’t think PWAs support that in iOS. But that’s the only reason that I can think of that would be an advantage (besides ease of install and marketing)

But making wefwef dependent on a centralized App Store is kind of antithetical to the fediverse.

Most PWAs I would rather use the native app but wefwef is probably the second best PWA I have ever used

    That’s awesome news. Nothing is really holding wefwef from being able to have feature parity with Apollo then

    People actually liked getting notifications from Reddit? That’s like the first thing I turn off when installing a Reddit app lol

    I like being able to see replies and such in a timely fashion so that I can be helpful to my fellow users. I’m probably a bit abnormal as I don’t mute notifications on WhatsApp/iMessage group messages either and most people I know do.

    You might already be aware, but Lemmy can send you an email every time someone replies to your comments.

    Just go to Settings in Lemmy and make sure the ‘Send notifications to Email’ box is checked. Assuming you have notifications turned on with your email app, then you can be notified in a timely fashion.

    I know it’s not as good as in-app notifications but it’s a workaround that is good enough for me.
