🐞 Describe the bug

I'm using ntfy.sh to set up the UnifiedPush flavor of Molly on /e/OS (fork of LineageOS).

I've already gotten it working perfectly on a different GrapheneOS device. However when following the exact same setup on the /e/OS device, I get Irrelevant or unknown message. Discarding. messages in the ntfy logs (below).

These "irrelevant or unknown messages" happen when the phone should receive a push message.

The Molly app obviously never receives the notification.

[logs omitted for brevity]

There are several "Connection failed" errors with Java stack traces along with "Scheduling a restart in 10 seconds (via alarm manager)" afterward. I figure that is pretty standard for a person who is moving around in a city all day long.

🔮 Additional context

The service that is sending the push notifications to ntfy.sh is a self-hosted instance of MollySocket (which is currently working without issue for my GrapheneOS device).

This is a normal message that happens for the "open" event. I could have just ignored it and not logged. But it's normal.
