UnifiedPush support has been announced for Element X, and NeoChat
This week, next gen @element@mastodon.matrix.org client, Element-X, and @neochat@kde.social announced they are supporting #UnifiedPush. This makes 2 more @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org clients supporting it ! NeoChat the second Linux app officially supporting UnifiedPush, after @tokodon@kde.social #...
The official announcement was mentioned in Matrix's blog post:
Next release 0.4.2 should also be published on F-Droid with push support using UnifiedPush.
In other news, thanks to Joshua, NeoChat now supports push notifications based on UnifiedPush.

Choose and host yourself. For me the latter part is half the battle.
