I went with ntfy.sh and installed molly and mercurygram.

Good choices. I take this a step further and bridge IRC, Signal, Gvoice, and WhatsApp from a plugged in device or container to Matrix. Then use ntfy for Matrix notifications. This gives me notifications for all of them in Matrix/Element and thus through ntfy.

Example: Instead of Molly I use mautrix-signal bridge as the device and it feeds messages into Matrix.

There's also a Telegram bridge: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/telegram/
