I’ve been going from app to app, some clients have a push notification setting but I’m still not getting anything when I’m outside of the app. What’s causing this? And are there apps where push notifications are working currently?

Pull clients? I’m new to all of this. 😭

The difference is just whether the client app gets notified of new messages/replies by asking the server "Is there anything new?" on a set schedule (pull), or if the server sends the notification "Here's something new!" only when there is a new one (push).
