Need Help: I'm not getting notifications to my chat.

Howdy, Lemmings! Maya here!

I needed some help with my Element X app that I downloaded recently. I don't seem to be getting notifications on my chat.

I am using a push notifier — ntfy.sh, since I don't like Sunup (it uses Mozilla's push notifier)

I have subscribed to a few topics and I'm able to send and receive push notifications well. I'm even subscribed to a default topic.

I even ran troubleshooting tests and everything seems to be fine.

Please tell me if there's anything I need to do in order to get notifications. I miss out on a lot.

Thanks in advance!

The default https://ntfy.sh/ server ratelimits Matrix notifications by a lot and is therefore unusable. Try a different ntfy server

I see. Which one would you recommend?

Probably https://ntfy.schildi.chat/ which is maintained by the SchildiChat developers

What next?

i'm not sure what you mean? you configure it as your default ntfy server, then delete the previous topic. Then Element X should be able to recreate a new topic again and you can test if notifications are working.

If your server is a continuwuity then there are some little push problems. But if you're on matrix.org or any other Synapse server it should be fine.
