Doesn't the use of ntfy change this (Android only, I think)? Homeserver pushes to an ntfy topic, app on phone is listening to that topic. Of course, this just moves the intermediary to ntfy but you can also host a different ntfy server which I hope element supports.

It does. I use ntfy with a ntfy server on one of my VPSs, and I use the official ntfy account on GMS as an intermediary.

It works fine, but I'll probably switch back to Matrix's push server at some point.

Edit: With Synapse + Element, obviously.

Thanks for sharing. Are you switching back because of pricing, or reliability issues?
