A modern Android smartphone relies on a lot of services, from app stores andcalendars to messaging and push notifications. Most of them have openalternatives...
Question, why use the official Mastodon app over Tusky? Especially since the latter has support for UnifiedPush which you could use as an example in Jerboa. Is the UX just that much better?
I’m thinking about adding push notifications to Jerboa… Is this how Mastodon for android does it?
AFAIK the official Mastodon app relies on Google’s C2DM*. But Tusky and Element, among others, use it.
Reading over this, ntfy looks brilliant and seems easy to use. Unfortunate that people would have to install another app tho.
Made an issue for it here.
Ah that’s unfortunate. I have megalodon and mastodon installed from F-droid, so I assumed they used something other than that for notifs.

I’m not a big fan of Twitter / microblogging in general, but having used both tusky and mastodon… the Mastodon app is muuch better UI-wise.
I’m currently using Megalodon, a fork that’s on f-droid.
