Hi guys basically as the title says. I have a pixel phone running GrapheneOS and I really don't want to install Play Services. Is there an alternative for me? I need reliable notifications for Telegram and signal. Edit: Thank you all amazing people for helping I learned alot and found best setup for me

So you have set it up over Mollysocket? Do you use your own or a remote instance?

I just haven't got around to setting it up myself yet... (+ I don't have my own server yet, so I can't self host :/)

Yeah, in self hosting MollySocket and my own Ntfy server. I'm in the process of moving it all to my NAS so I don't have to leave my computer on all the time.

I really wish Signal would support it natively.

it's rly cool that you're self hosting this stuff! though I can imagine running your PC 24/7 just for that is quite annoying

also yeah, upstream support for UnifiedPush in the clients for both Signal and Telegram would be great...

But I can imagine that it's not rly a priority for them.
(I'm not actually skilled enough (yet) to help implement that though either)
