The app I use (Eternity) has options for 15/30/60/etc mins. You can theoretically get notifications every second if you set up your own RSS reader to check that quickly (though be considerate of your instance’s resources). Before I settled on my current solution I had an RSS reader check every so often and ding a desktop notification when it found something. I use 30 minutes because if I’m using Lemmy I’ll see the notification alert anyway, and if I’m away from Lemmy I don’t want to be notified potentially every 15 minutes when people keep replying.
yea, rss readers are a balance. my biggest problem with them is that they all seem feature-incomplete and the variety of features is so varied between them. android in particular has never seemed to have the “right” reader for me. recently i tried to love thunderbird on desktop, but i’m afraid liferea is a pretty clear winner in this regard.
my frustration with finding a decent rss reader is a major contributing factor in my quest to learn python.
… every 30 minutes? gotta admit… i like it a little more fast-paced.
