Enable push notifications for all in-app notifications

[JacksonCampbell99]

I can't tell you how confused I get on what is supposed to notify me and what is not. I have every push notification setting on in the app and in the system notification settings for the app. If it's your issue or discussion, you will get notified in the app; if they happened to @ you then you will get a push notification. That encourages unnecessarily @ ing people, such as when I am the OP and someone is just commenting on the post (OP gets in-app notifications for comments). Knowing how notifications work, some people will comment and @ me, and some will just reply without @ ing me, which should be totally reasonable. @ ing should only be considered necessary when on a thread with multiple people interacting, not even a thread with only OP and another person back and forth.

Thanks for the note @JacksonCampbell99 — I can see how this would be annoying in threads with just two people. Right now we don't have plans to support push notifications for all comments on issues, but I'll pass this along to our team to think about how we might approach this without potentially overwhelming people with push notifications if they have a lot of simultaneous conversations happening.

Could you allow the user to decide if they are "overwhelmed" or not

I would like to have the option to get ALL push notifications on a repository

I was searching for ages through the settings trying to work out why I wasn't getting push notifications for new notifications, and now I know why.

Please support push notifications on ALL notifications, not just mentions.

It's made app push notifications near useless to me, having to fall back to email notifications due to being unreliable by design.

While this is an issue I heavily rely on filters to keep my inbox clean.

Anyone know how to hack GitHub so that you can get Push notifications?

It's called you have a setting and people can turn it on or off just like the other ones. It's not overwhelming people to add an option. It's overwhelming to find out you missed a bunch of conversations because the app wouldn't notify you.

Also in favor of this behavior.

Notifications on github mobile are already very configurable. So it would be great to add a toggle to allow users to get notified for all inbox notifications. This should include comments on issues, prs, discussions, anything the user has subscribed to, without necessary direct mention - simply replicating the email notification within mobile.

Default behavior could be toggling this setting off to avoid overflooding users, overcoming raised concern in this thread.
