Any privacy-respecting way to receive Slack notifications? (lemmy.ml)

Work uses Slack, which is quite entrenched in the organization, so trying to move all of my contacts over to something else would be nontrivial. Colleagues use it to send moderately urgent messages every now and then, so notifications on my phone would be a nice-to-have.

I haven't had much luck finding well-maintained open-source clients for Slack. I could sandbox Play Services alongside the official app or a browser, but I'd rather not make my phone run the whole Google Play stack just for those notifications. Did I miss any low-hanging fruit or is hosting a Matrix bridge the only alternative?

Why in the world are you using company resources on a personal device? You should always seperate the two for your own peace of mind as well as privacy.

Agreed, but company does not provide us devices. Everything I've said applies to my second phone running GrapheneOS, which I am using as my work phone. I'm trying to avoid setting up and running Play Services just for nice-to-have notifications when none of my other apps require it.

Cant request one? Just buy a used, cheap, bottom of the barrel android phone for work purpose. Trust me, its worth it.

It's a hassle handling two phone but for me its well worth it. Anything work related goes into that phone. I dont touch it once im clocked out. Disable every single app that are not work related.

Lots of small companies don’t require/give you to use a dedicated work phone. Shit my company isn’t even all that small anymore and we still don’t.
