I understand that self-hosted Discourse instances do not get push notifications through the mobile app. However from reading through the meta topic about the app, it looks like notifications should still work using iOS’s background fetch (albeit a bit delayed). This doesn’t seem to work for my foru…

Primarily the native notification issue, other than that it will work as expected.

@codinghorror Is there any way to pay for iOS push notification functionality witha self hosted forum?

No, this is not possible. You’d need to use a paid Discourse specific hosting plan, either here or elsewhere.

If it’s a DO discourse droplet?

That is “self hosted” in this context.

Thanks for sharing that here. I had totally missed it.

have you found a successful path to receiving notifications while self hosting? if so, will you save me the trial and error by sharing your experiential knowledge? p please.

Yes, but it was unrelated to this thread. I simply downloaded a free app on my iPhone called Fig. On every other device, push notifications work out of the box. Hope that helps.

Actually - don’t worry. I found it “Fig for Discourse”

Hey @jtbayly I recently published a plugin for pushover that allows a user to sign up for push notifications over Pushover. Other push services could probably be added with not too much difficulty. Maybe this can help scratch your itch here.
