To people that still do not receive push notifications with #Fedilab, please give a try to #SunUp
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.unifiedpush.distributor.sunup
We recommend this app over NTFY because you won't be rate limited.
It is of course not limited to Fedilab and you can use it with any other apps.
@apps also I can't make it work again with nextpush (it was working some months ago, other apps are still working with it)
using sunup for fedilab for now
Yes, SunUp is great, and it's from Mozilla
@apps
I'm happy for this recommendation, looks like a good choice. But can anyone explain to me why a service is needed for this? Can't an app just put up its own notifications on the same device?
@murdoc
To handle its own notifications, the app needs to be constantly active in the background which results in a significant battery drain, especially if there are multiple other apps doing the same in parallel. Usually notification handling is covered centrally by Google Firebase Messaging (i.e. only one active app) but on devices without Google services you need a substitute like ntfy or Sunup.

I currently use the ntfy app. Beside ntfy.sh topics from apps I added a selfhosted ntfy instance.
Sunup seems not to support adding url's from multiple servers manually. Thus the ntfy app makes more sense for me. But since I can't see the Fedilab topic for https://push.services.mozilla.com in Sunup, I can't add it in ntfy instead. At least I think I could do so since ntfy uses UnifiedPush.
Could you maybe just add the full topic/link to Mozilla's push channel?
