Hey I just wanted to ask a question to the devs about the app notifications

I’ve been struggling to stay active in conversations on lemmy because the jerboa app doesn’t support notifications apparently? I thought i was just not paying attention but, after doing some digging, I discovered the jerboa app actually blocks permission to send notifications? That would be fine, I can manage without push notifications. Its the fact it doesn’t update while I’m using the app that has frustrated me to the point of making a post about it.

My issue is that even while in the app i dont see my notifications either. I have to physically navigate to my notification tab and refresh it to get updates. Its resulted in multiple occasions where I have several replies and dont see them for literal days because I log in and my notifications say the same number as yesterday.

Im unsure if this is an app issue or my personal settings but id appreciate any help with this as its really making conversing on lemmy nearly impossible. Ive left too many people unanswered for days at a time completely unintentionally.
