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.

4) In Amethyst, log in with A

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

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 :(
