--message-expiry-duration is an option that you can pass when creating a new tier (in your selfhosted instance). It is equivalent to the cache-duration for users publishing in that tier.
For instance, if you are a ntfy Pro user, your messages are cached much longer than the normal 12h (see https://ntfy.sh/v1/tiers).
The naming is a little odd. I think cache-duration should probably be called something else.

Go to "http://ntfy.example.com/mytopic/json?poll=1"
With your selfhosted URL and your topic filled in. See what you get back. You can also enable debugging to see if there any clues in the logs, both Android or the server.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "it is asking"? Are you using the Android app or iOS app? Which screen? Can you provide a step by step of what you're doing, or a screenshot?

Got it. Yeah no that's not supported. I have thought about adding that many times, but nobody's asked for it so far.
I'd probably call them extras though or something, so it'd be:
{
"topic": "1234",
"message": "foo",
"title": "bar",
"extras": {
"customField": "baz"
}
}

It is not possible to log to both. I'm sure there is some Unix trick to do both, but I don't know.

Can you make an example? Like, you want to just send custom fields when you publish the message and then pass it along to where?

Thanks you for considering a donation.
Open Collective does not accept single-maintainer projects. I tried to open an account and had an email exchange with a person there, and they told me that I'd need a second owner for the account.
I can dig up the exact wording, but there's sadly not much I can do.

Great writeup thank you. May I just say that tmyour original plan was both ambitious and a little insane. And even the current cost and infrastructure is bonkers IMHO.
I do hope you're getting donations to help with the cost. Good luck.
My instance is on the other end of the spectrum: I pay $6/month for it on digitalocean. It has 1G of RAM. It crashes every now and then, likely because of the RAM and OOM killer. But it's only for me and a few ntfy fans, so it's quite different.

I do cover the costs yes, through donations and the paid plans.
It's definitely fun to do some things, but others are daunting indeed. I do, however, learn a lot. I have learned a lot that I was able to reuse elsewhere. All that is priceless.

Thanks. I don't work on it full time, no. It's a side gig project I've been doing for a year and a half. I recently added paid plans to get a little side income, but it's not really taken off. Likely because the free tier is too generous hehe.

Use ntfy.sh. It's open source and has a free server.

In case you're wondering, yes, I was notified about this post via the script 😂
Lemmy doesn't support notifications of all new posts for a certain community, so I [1] wrote a little script to send me a ntfy notification for each new post in the ntfy community. Here it is: https://gist.github.com/binwiederhier/70f13b7c7338a2b75e15438b5567a6d6 [1] When I say "I", I really mean 99% ChatGPT.

That's what saving the IDs is for right? It's easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I'll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.

Thanks dude. I'm going to try the curl route. What do you mean by it sends you every post? Isn't that what I want?
Is it possible for Lemmy to send me a notification whenever somebody submits a new post to a specific community (one that I own)? I started a project-specific community !ntfy@discuss.ntfy.sh that's supposed to be a support forum, and I have missed a few posts for many hours because there are no notifications. I'd be ok too if there was a simple API and I'd have to write a small script, but it'd be nicer if it was built-in
Due to the nature of the default robots.txt and the meta tags in Lemmy, search engines will index even non-local communities. This leads to results that are undesirable, such as unrelated/undesirable content being associated with your instance. As of today, lemmy-ui does not allow hiding non-local (or any) communities from Google and other search engines. If you, like me, do not want your instance to be associated with other content, you can add a custom robots.txt and response headers to avoid indexing. In nginx, simply add this: ``` # Disallow all search engines location / { ... add_header X-Robots-Tag noindex; } location = /robots.txt { add_header Content-Type text/plain; return 200 "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /\n"; } ``` [Here's a commit](https://github.com/binwiederhier/lemmy-ansible/commit/82675f068020d04d6511550daff559d66c33223c) in my fork of the lemmy-ansible playbook. And [here's a corresponding issue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1275) I opened in lemmy-ui. I hope this helps someone :-)

I have asked this question to countless people (mostly in hair salons) as an alternative to small talk, and it always yields interesting results. Rules: - You get the money right now, right where you are. If it's 10pm and you're in the middle of nowhere, your money will still go poof at 11pm. - As a result of the above, tell us what time it is and _roughly_ where you are (big city, desert, small town, ...) - You must spend the money. You cannot give it to someone to hold on to it for you for a while. - Normal world rules apply, e.g. you cannot buy a $250k car at a dealership in 1h in cash, and you cannot buy a house in 1h either. - Remember that getting from where you are to the place you need to go takes time. Factor that in! Edit: I'm glad you guys had fun with this one. Feel free to post similar hypothetical questions. I kinda like these. Edit edit: Free advertising 😅 --> I run and maintain an open source push notification service called [ntfy](https://ntfy.sh), which let's you send notifications to your phone via PUT/POST, like `curl -d "backup successful" ntfy.sh/mytopic`. Go check it out.

ntfy iOS support is about to get much better. While I haven't worked on the native app in a while, the progressive web app (PWA) is going to make the web app enough to receive notifications on iOS (and others). Almost all of the credit goes to [@nimbleghost](https://github.com/nimbleghost) for the implementation.
