"How can I get notifications when I am not on CounterSocial?"

Put simply, you can't. In order to serve notifications to your device, we'd have to remain connected to it at all times. That's kind of creepy if you really think about it, so we don't do that here.

The CounterSocial Notifications column provides two options: All and Mentions. Check your mentions when you reconnect to catch up on anything you might've missed.

It's a core feature of this place. We don't bother you when you're away, and we're here at your convenience.

@CoSoTips it would be cool if we got notifications while on the app though. As in if the little bell would have a number or turn a color when we have a new one.

@Sheilby24 @CoSoTips The desktop Notifications column has toggles for desktop and push notifications and for a sound to play when one comes in. But still, only while the website is open.

@AngryCanadianGamer @CoSoTips ahh, I use the app since I don't have reliable access to a computer.

@CoSoTips
Erm, I recently poked around in the Notifications settings and now I can filter by favorites, mentions, boosts, DMs, polls, and follows. Not filtering is also an option. Please preserve this! XO

@CoSoTips
Thank you. Im liking what I see here. Nice features. Nice people. Looking forward to being more familiar.

@CoSoTips What is the star for? Favorites? Is there a "like" type button?

Wakanda ... I mean, CoSo forever!

@CoSoTips one workaround: email notifications. If your device is set to get email notifications, then you could get your CoSo notifications that way.
