Just try it out. I make no guarantees for odd setups like that though. :-)

That … actually looks and feels pretty slick. Very neat UI.

Great writeup thank you. May I just say that tmyour original plan was both ambitious and a little insane. And even the current cost and infrastructure is bonkers IMHO.

I do hope you’re getting donations to help with the cost. Good luck.

My instance is on the other end of the spectrum: I pay $6/month for it on digitalocean. It has 1G of RAM. It crashes every now and then, likely because of the RAM and OOM killer. But it’s only for me and a few ntfy fans, so it’s quite different.

I do cover the costs yes, through donations and the paid plans.

It’s definitely fun to do some things, but others are daunting indeed. I do, however, learn a lot. I have learned a lot that I was able to reuse elsewhere. All that is priceless.

Thanks. I don’t work on it full time, no. It’s a side gig project I’ve been doing for a year and a half. I recently added paid plans to get a little side income, but it’s not really taken off. Likely because the free tier is too generous hehe.

Use ntfy.sh. It’s open source and has a free server.

Disclaimer: I made it ;-)

You can type reset to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.

Here ya go. ChatGPT did all the hard work: https://chat.openai.com/share/7703dbe5-6801-4d5b-8d56-c3f18ca3ac4a

Edit: here’s a manually refined version: https://gist.github.com/binwiederhier/70f13b7c7338a2b75e15438b5567a6d6

That’s what saving the IDs is for right? It’s easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I’ll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.

Oh that’s a good idea. Any reader suggestions? I have thought about trying RSS again for a while. Maybe this is a good enough reason.

Thanks dude. I’m going to try the curl route. What do you mean by it sends you every post? Isn’t that what I want?

That implies that it’s not a native feature. I gotta find the API docs then…

Edit: Looks like there is an easy-ish API. Examples:

$ curl -s "https://discuss.ntfy.sh/api/v3/post/list?sort=Hot"|jq '.posts[].post.name'
"Docker-compose + Traefik"
"[SOLVED] Self-hosted NTFY does not receive all notifications"
"Markdown is coming soon ... 🤩 😲"
"[disscussion] Lemmy push notifications with ntfy"
"Using healthchecks.io and ntfy.sh to wake you up if your services are down"
"Ntfy Connector: Modal-based discord bot to send,and now receive, ntfy notifications."
"Welcome to the new ntfy discussion board"
"ntfy Web Push / PWA support is coming soon"
"📢  ntfy Web Push / PWA: Request for testing!"
"ntfy release 🎉 - Now with Web Push and a progressive web app (hello iOS friends ❤️), and with dark mode for the web app! ntfy lets you send push notifications to your phone via a simple REST API, and"

Excuse my ignorance, but where can I find details to this issueand does it affect only 0.18.1, or also 0.18.0?

That looks pretty neat. Thanks!

You really should. It’s pretty darn amazing.

I have noticed that I use it less myself. I think honestly though, at least for me, that it is 90% related to the clunky and awkward UI of ChatGPT. If it was easy to natively type the prompt in the browser bar I’d use it much more.

Plus, the annoying text scrolling thingy … Just show me the answer already, hehe.

There is no way to list topics. That would be silly, given that topics are meant to be used as secret notification channels 🙃

The admin of the server can obviously list topics, but normal users cannot.

This looks really nice, dude

That actually looks wayyyy better than I thought it would. Well done.

That’s very smart. It’d be nice to have native ntfy support for Lemmy though.

Also, the email address format is documented here: https://docs.ntfy.sh/publish/#e-mail-publishing
