Server notifications on fedi (lemmy.today)

For the longest time, I've been wanting to set up an email server with one of its main purposes being phone notifications.

Is there a fedi thing that I can use to do that?

You know how many server apps will ask for an email address?

Heck even immich asked for an email address! WTF! Ask me for my mastodon or my Lemmy address! So far these have been very reliable communication systems.

I guess the question is also a sort of statement. Why not add a fedi option for logins? Please???

Looks like they hacked something already for this using:

It looks intimidating but probably same as spooling up a mastodon instance.

If you want to host your own email server, then do that. As someone earlier in the thread said, email was the first federated messaging system. That was the entire point of SMTP. Anyone could host one and trust it would work.

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, as it's not ActivityPub based, but Postmoogle is a Matrix bridge email server, where you can send emails to it and they'll be converted to Matrix messages. There might be a similar thing for ActivityPub?
