Currently ‘Boost for Lemmy’ doesn’t show any real-time notification. The minimum check interval can be set to 30 minutes and that’s also inconsistent. There should be an option or by default it should show real-time notification. This issue was also present in ‘Boost for Reddit’.

    Lemmy would need to push notifications to you from their servers for that. Periodically checking your inbox for messages is the best any app can do on their end. It was the same with Reddit, where they would only push notifications to the official app, and anything else would be limited to checking on its own.

    Increasing the frequency of checks would also have an impact on your device’s battery life and increase traffic for your instance.

      I just asked for that as an option. Sometimes some people need timely notification for a particular post so they can set it.
