I find them useful so I can see when someone replies to me. It's a thing that apps have, I kinda expect Lemmy apps to have it.
Currently my work around is MonitoRSS and a discord channel to scan my lemmy inbox every 10 min. It kinda works but the down side is their are times I might see a messageon lemmy then discord notifies me later.
I suppose lemmy apps could use a polling based system but I wonder if their is a way to enable push (granted if one is willing to make the privacy trade off and use apple push notification or google firebase push notification).
The web-UI uses WebSocket to get notifications, which provides fairly low latency (at the cost of having to have a WebSocket eternally open). I'm not sure which (if any) of the Lemmy clients make use of it other than the web-UI, though.
