Notifications from Geminars are handled via a dedicated application installed on your phone. You can download and install ntfy.app from here. They have an app for both Androids as well as iPhones. It is a free app.

If you do not choose to install the app, you can receive the notification in your browser too. Just go to your profile dialog in Geminars and click on the notification link there.

To receive the notifications on the app, you need to subscribe to a topic. A Topic ID is created specifically for you. Go to your profile dialog in Geminars, and you can copy it from there.

Secondly, you should also configure the server. That one would be https://ntfy.spoke.today

The server from where you would receive the notification has to be the one given above. Else, you will not receive the notifications.

Notifications work quite well on Android: That means, whenever you receive a notification from Geminars, the phone would alert you (Unless of course, you set your phone to not show them) However; lately on iPhones, there is a quirk due to the changes in their privacy policy: It may not alert you; so you may need to occasionally look at your phone to see if you have indeed received any notifications from Geminars. I believe the author of ntfy.sh is aware of this quirk and is possibly working on a remedy.

IMPORTANT The notifications on the phone are only handled by the aforementioned ntfy.sh app installed on that phone.
