Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I’m not as strict as some people here but I rarely blanket allow notifications and I aggressively manage the settings. Like I allow some apps to show temporary banners if I’m using the phone but don’t allow badges or access to the Notification Center or Lock Screen (or my watch). And I’ll occasionally allow an app like DoorDash that has in-app notification settings where you can turn off non-essential ones.
Basically, I treat my Notification Center as a place for time-sensitive, actionable alerts. If an app can’t stick to that, I’ll either kill notifications for it or dive into the settings.
I also use Focuses (foci?) to limit things to just essentials (like messaging, phone, etc.) further if I’m working or at dinner or something. Like my “At Work” focus lets through work emails and essential Teams chats.
