Are you talking about ntfy? And if so, could you give more context? I run a self-hosted ntfy and am thinking of switching to GOS.

Sorry, forgot to include a blockquote. I was talking about microG. Ntfy is a regular user-installable app, you just need to grant it permission to run in the background, i.e. disable battery optimization.

I believe they’re referring to microg. Never used ntfy so I’m not too sure.

You’re damn right
