I couldn't read the article on mobile due to live notifications.

Yep, the alerts occlude must/most of the page. This is probably the first time the creator's encountered HN rush hour.
it's definitely not the first time the project has gotten traction on hn (eg: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37285156)
Dear AsmBB.org admin: Have those be turned off by default. They're annoying even when they don't occlude the entire screen.
Especially for guests viewing the page. No one really needs to know that a random person loaded the page. If there is some kind of friend/follow functionality for logged in users, and they want to enable notifications for them, ok, but that’s about as far as it should ever go.
Tap the Bell icon to disable the live notifications.
I can’t do that either because the notifications pile up and cover the button.
Why would anyone care to know that an anonymous person is reading the same page as you?
