At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I've decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered "FOSS" but this is a huge step I think.

As I'm voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

Hopefully they add push notifications for posts, similar to Apollo for Reddit push notifications feature:

“Apollo for Reddit had a feature called “Threshold Notifications”, which allowed users to set up notifications for when a post reached a certain number of upvotes. This was useful for tracking the popularity of a post without constantly checking Reddit.

For example, you could configure Apollo to notify you if a specific post or thread reached 1,000 upvotes. This feature was particularly helpful for keeping an eye on trending content”

You can ask for it :))

This feature is a must-have for me. I’ve been searching for a Lemmy client for Android that has this feature, but none of them do. Only Arctic for Lemmy that does have this feature.

I just don’t bother requesting because the response I usually get is that Lemmy doesn’t officially support push notifications, and it’s quite a complex process to implement.

I think Lemmy is supposed to add support for them on lemmy 1.0

I hope so (:

Why do you want that?

Well, it keeps you up to date with trending topics without having to open the app itself. You can quickly glance at your notifications. Saving you a lot of time.

I'm not a developer but I believe it was the Voyager dev that explained Lemmy currently can't do this. Apps only reach out to Lemmy servers while they are open. Push notifications would require the developers to run their own servers that the apps would reach out to while running in the background and no one wants to pay for that especially since most apps are free. I may be explaining this wrong.

Oh, you’re right! The developer explained it really well. I mostly use Voyager as my main Lemmy client on all my devices, but I use Arctic just for checking out trending topics. Maybe Arctic has more funding or something.
