Push Notifications? (lemmy.world)

I love Voyager, it has all the things I need, except for push notifications. Is that a planned feature in the near future?

How much would this actually increase the load of a Lemmy instance?

I'd imagine that when I'm actually browsing Lemmy, I consume so much data that the polling probably wouldn't cause even a tenth of a percent of that load. But, I don't know the technology, so I could be completely wrong with my understanding of how much it would strain the Lemmy instances. How big would the strain be in proportion to how much a Lemmy user strains the instance's server anyway?

I have no specific data. But I consider polling in the background to be abuse, especially for a free service hosted by volunteers. Once lemmy implements actual push (which is scheduled soon!) I will implement.
