Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they’ll no longer be able to receive them on X.
You can be notified per account if you want, just like on Twitter.
You can. But if your app only checks every 5 minutes, it kind of defeats the purpose.
I don’t know, for sure, how Mastodon notifications work. But it seems like Tooot (not totally sure if it was this app or a different one) tried to make me jump through some special hoops to do the best approximation it could of true push notifications.
