Ntfy (installed via the stock F-Droid) does not seem to work for me; sending test notifications to the topic does not give me notifications on my phone
 
For which App(s) are you trying to use it.
ntfy is set up accordingly?
 
I've used ntfy previously under OS-L without issues. I switched to Sunup as my Unified Push distributor a while ago, because it looked like ntfy for Android wouldn't be maintained or updated anymore. This only changed recently.

Out of curiosity, I installed the latest ntfy release as available on F-Droid (1.17.8).
Test setup:
- Create test topic on ntfy.sh (free tier).
- Subscribe to topic in ntfy on phone.
- Push text messages to topic via curl from PC.

Result:
Notification is received on phone as expected, working fine.

For forkgram and fluffychat; I can see the topics in the ntfy app, which runs in the background over days. To test I used curl to push to the topic of fluffychat but no notification is shown.

To test if the problem concerns ntfy itself, I created and subscribed to a new topic, sent notifications, and that one works. So the problem lies somewhere else.

When I checked the topics of fluffychat and forkgram, I noticed there were no notifications record from those apps, so perhaps the apps never push to ntfy.sh for some reason, but I cannot tell that.

After removing the old fluffychat topic and adding again, now it works with fluffychat. Still to see with forkgram.

Well as it works now with fluffychat it can not be a general problem. Maybe setting things up anew with forkgram also fixes things. Maybe you missed something.
Just for completeness you are using SOS.7.0.L.20250916?

Yes I am using SOS.7.0.L.20250916. The current situation is it sometimes works with fluffychat. I still need to figure out why and how to let it work consistently.
 
Actually I tried it with Fluffychat but I can't even find how to set up unified push. The setting to choose the distributor is not where it is supposed to be. No problems with other Apps.

Per doc, when you launch fluffychat, it automatically sets a topic to the unified push app. In my case I can find it in ntfy.
 
Here it says there should be something in Settings -> Notifications.
Well, what it says is that if you scroll down to the bottom, you will see a list of pushers, as I indeed do. There is nothing to set manually there.

The list of pushers is below "Devices" on that page, and I see something like:

FluffyChat android - chat.fluffy.fluffychat.xxxxxxx (some code)
 
For me there is nothing below devices. If there are multiple providers like ntfy and sunup there should be an option to choose between the providers. None of them is listed for me.
