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

I tend to turn off push notifications for most things that aren't my own calendar/routine reminders. I find them really overwhelming. No shame to people who like them, but my brain and my body just don't like being alerted all the time, it makes it harder for me to focus on my own needs.

I do support push capability for people who want them, though- I am sure that forgetfulness for some people is as frustrating as overwhelm is for me. As long as they can be turned off!
