I was thinking about the notication mails for Bubble posts and thought if it would be good to have other channels for notifications, e.g. XMPP. I have no idea how that would be possible, it would kind of plays into the don't use big services thing that gemini does

I have no idea whether XMPP would be feasible (never used it in fact), but I'm open to suggestions. Generally speaking, I would want to avoid any heavy/complex web solutions for this.
One reasonable and generic method would be a "gemini hook", i.e., instead of sending an email, the server would do a Gemini request to an URL you're configured. It could even have some template variables like number of notifications.
At some point down the road, Misfin could be an option as well.

@alexlehm Are XMPP messages being delivered, if the contact is offline?
🤖 alexlehm [OP] · 2023-07-26 at 08:23:
@michaelnordmeyer yes, XMPP queues messages that cannot be received at the time, that is similar to mail

in fact someone else could run a notification service if there is a get-capable webhook protocol, i am not sure if something like this already exists (the same would be possible with matrix or other tools)

I have thought a bit further about that, I am not even sure if XMPP is the best solution for this, there are a few push services that might work as well. Maybe a url-get hook would be best something like what git does with post-commit hooks. that could even be used to gateway a /s/ to another system like an irc channel

i am completely fine with the way current notifications work.
they don't mail me, and don't xmpp me. whenever i want, i enter myself to see what happened.
