Server-side grouped notifications not working on some servers
Problem I have
Hi,
First of all, thanks a lot for Phanpy! It really moves the needle in terms of UX and UI; in many ways it's more reactive than native apps. Kudos.
I enabled the server-side grouped notifications (alpha-stage feature, I know), then forgot about it. Later, notifications were not working, and I did not realize both were linked, because the error message just said that fetching notifications failed.
That's because my server (using an old mastodon version / glitch-soc) does not yet support the new notifications API.
Solution I'd like
It might be worth enhancing this error message ("your server does not support grouped notifications or the v2 api") as this feature eventually moves to beta-stage.
Please consider this as a general UX feedback and how an user can paint themselves in a corner. Feel free to close this issue!

I'm on social.treehouse.systems, which full version is declared as v4.3.0-alpha.5+glitch.th
@anisse thanks. Seems like it has a version bump but not merging grouped notifications from upstream? 🤔
For context, server-side grouped notifications option on Phanpy is only visible based on the version check. If the check is not reliable, I'll have to implement a different check.
