Hey guys,
I created this community to promote and talk about the UnifiedPush project. It aims to create a free and open source alternative to Google's proprietary Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Quite a few apps have already adopted the UP protocol, but there are still many FOSS apps lacking support for it. I will post GitHub issue threads where UP integration in FOSS apps is being discussed. I will also post about new apps that gained UnifiedPush support, and other useful tools that help with using UP. If you want to stay up-to-date about ongoing developments in the Android FOSS ecosystem in regards to push notifications, consider subscribing to !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I also recommend following the official Mastodon account, joining the Matrix room and donating to support development!
Right above this post I saw a discussion about something similar 😄

Sounds cool, subscribed! You could also share this in !opensource@programming.dev and probably some communities on lemdro.id
3If you mean ntfy.sh, it actually uses the UnifiedPush protocol. It is a so called UP distributor, and the main way of using UnifiedPush on Android. A brief explanation can be found on the UP homepage: https://unifiedpush.org/
Will definitely share this in some more communities!

@Andromxda I have a Nextcloud instance where I set up the UnifiedPush distributor. Problem is, I've only found, like, three applications that work with UP - one of them constantly crashes, the other requires manually installing additional services on my server in order to even work, and the third one I barely even used in the end. I seriously hope to see more apps using UP now that it's finally landed on the main Maven repositories.
