Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/497

A few things which are currently not covered by the documentation:

Does UP still work if i restrict the access by default? https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#example-private-instance
What happens if i change the displayname of an active UP subscription in the app? e.g https://ntfy.example.com/xxxxxxxc to tusky ?

This is covered in the UP docs: https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/ntfy/#limit-access-to-some-users -- Long story short: you have to allow write access to up* for anonymous users, or for a specific UP topic
The display name has no impact on the subscription. It's just displayed differently in the client

Thanks for the quick answer. I created #499 as i think this should be covered in the ntfy documentation.

Thanks for the adjustments. This should make things a lot clearer for UP newbies 👍

Should we drop the $ from the examples? Just noticed the copy button which obviously won't properly work that way.
