A small addition to already mentioned stuff. There are multiple ways to deliver the notifications without google services. 1st and older one is by simply letting the app hang in the background indefinitely and ping the necessary servers from time to time, that one almost always works, since app developers can’t really rely on gapps being installed; 2nd is UnifiedPush (that’s already mentioned sunup [mozilla], but also ntfy [ntfy], nextpush [nextcloud], gCompat-UP [google firebase], NoProvider2Push [fully local]). AFAIK, it works similarly to the way gapps send notifications and uses less battery, but not all apps support it, so you may need to search for forks. For example, the official and, iirc, Foss telegram clients don’t, but mercury, nagram{,x} and momo do.
NoProvider2Push is a good call! Haven’t paid attention to that, thanks!
Thanks!
Seems that SunUp is a nice one stop shop, whereas Next takes two steps. I’m assuming SunUp would perform faster in the US while Next would perform faster in the EU, right?
Not sure if it was a joke 😅 Nextpush uses your nextcloud (~a self-hosted google drive alternative) instance in case you happen to have one, so that would depend on where you’re hosting it. Although, assuming push notifications aren’t exactly resource-intensive (otherwise those would require at least making an account), the difference would be pretty negligible from a performance standpoint
