Do you guys run your own servers? I think the ntfy.sh is blocking channels after the initial free-pricing limits.

Discussion
I am not a paid customer on ntfy.sh but I have not been getting notifications at all.
Yep, they might be blocking everyone that uses the free version due to the amount of messages out.
What is the best and easy way to use lightning address in Amethyst?
Don’t. That’s the easiest.
Do you already have an address? If so, you can just insert it in your profile.
The best integration we have is with Alby Hub, which offers the 3 services Nostr needs:
- The self-custodial lightning node
- The zapper service (to send zap receipts in Nostr)
- The Nostr wallet connect: to automatically pay zaps with single click on Amethyst.
Did not know you can run your own notifications server on Graphene 🤯
Assuming one has an own instance of ntfy running, is there a decent guide on how to set up the whole notification thing properly?
In theory, all you need to do is to have the notification app running on your phone, connected with your server.
Then go to Amethyst's Fdroid version, go to Settings in the left drawer and select the app as a distributor. That will create a topic in the Notification app and you should be able to see our server sending notifications.
The "connected with your server" part is the issue.
Do I need to create a Topic on the server first? And then have the app subscribe to it?
Anyway if there was a simple step guide, that would help
It depends on the server implementation. With NTFY, you don't need to create a topic.
Yes, ntfy. Alright figured it out. Here are the steps:
1) Install ntfy from F-Droid
2) If you have already done so, and there are entries that are of the form ntfy.sh/xGH... ➡️ Delete them
3) In ntfy app > Settings > Default Server: change to your self hosted url (e.g https://ntfy.mydomain.tld)
4) In Amethyst, log in with Amber, and follow the poop up steps. The process will make the ntfy app to create a new subscription, but this time to your server (not ntfy.sh)
Did it work?
Hmm, I was able to sign into Amethyst, and browse, open DMs etc.
But in the ntfy app, where it did automatically create the subscription, it also just says "Connecting..."
Is there any specific way to test it's doing what it's supposed to? I literally learned Amber + ntfy .. and have little clue what to do
But I am seeing lots of timeouts from the main NTFY server. So I think many people are passing the limits of the free account. And when that happens, they don't get notified. Our server just gets a timeout :(
I do not. FWIW, I've never managed to receive a single nfty notification, so not sure how I could be hiting limits.
