Comment on How do you get notified of replies on lemmy?
commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months agoyea, rss readers are a balance. my biggest problem with them is that they all seem feature-incomplete and the variety of features is so varied between them. android in particular has never seemed to have the “right” reader for me. recently i tried to love thunderbird on desktop, but i’m afraid liferea is a pretty clear winner in this regard.
my frustration with finding a decent rss reader is a major contributing factor in my quest to learn python.

I use FreshRSS on desktop (web client from my self-hosted instance), and Readrops on Android (synced to my FreshRSS). For Lemmy notifications specifically you’ll likely want a dedicated client that is noisy. I was using Brief for this task temporarily, with only one RSS feed loaded and having it set to delete all but the latest message.
