Shit most of the apps I’ve tried out don’t even correctly tell you you have messages when you open them. Not one seems to poll for messages, replies, or mentions automatically every so often; they all require manually refreshing the message window and even then, sometimes you have to close the entire thing and reopen it (as with Jerboa).
I’m referring to notifications similar to those provided by Apollo for Reddit, such as receiving a notification whenever a post receives a certain number of upvotes.
Maybe not what you want, but my solution is email notifications with InstAddr
I’ve kind of been using that way more than disposable email at this point. The app notifications always work and get received immediately.
I am not sure how trustworthy it is though. I’ve been using it for years, even for school and work, which is probably not the wisest, but it’s worked for me better than others.

5. Engage respectfully: Harassment, flamebaiting, bad faith engagement, or agenda posting will result in your posts being removed. Excessive violations will result in temporary or permanent ban, depending on severity.
6. Memes are not allowed to be posts, but are allowed in the comments.
7. Posts from clickbait sources are heavily discouraged. Please de-clickbait titles if it needs to be submitted.
8. Submission statements of any length composed of your own thoughts inside the post text field are mandatory for any microblog posts, and are optional but recommended for article/image/video posts.

Boost sends me notifications on replies
That’s what I am using but I don’t get the notification unless I open the app
Might be your settings or permissions
There are no available options yet, except for comment and post reply notifications.
Which app does that?
I get them on sync
Thunder has experimental support for it. You’ll also need a unifiedpush distributor installed. F-Droid has a good explainer on UnifiedPush at https://f-droid.org/2022/12/18/unifiedpush.html
Does it support notifications from various communities? Or just comments replies?
Replies, mentions and messages, afaik. Not sure what other kind of notifications you’d be expecting.

Actually I take it all back, the support for push notifications isn’t in Lemmy itself yet. It’s not practically usable for you.
Don’t kill my app!
I will try that
does Voyager work with ntfy?

You will just have to wait until Lemmy officially supports push notifications. It is planned. Anything else is a hack involving polling.
I’ve come to.like.this behaviour. No notification overload.
But you do receive notifications from other apps like reddit,Facebook and X. So why is is that you are okay with Lemmy case of no notification?
I don’t use those apps.
I have notifications for some other apps that do require prompt action, like WhatsApp.
