Unreliable sending of push notifications to ntfy

After some back and forth in the chat I thought it might be helpful to make this into an issue:

I'm only very sporadically getting push notifications.
When I do, it's usually a timeframe of about 10 minutes during which I receive push notifications for all incoming messages.
Using Fluffychat mainly, but also installed SchildiNext for testing and didn't get any notifications there.
Getting the push channel ID from the ntfy app and manually inspecting it yields that the ntfy server didn't receive any notifications that didn't also make it to the phone. That's why I'm assuming the problem should be between Continuwuity and ntfy.
ntfy is behind an nginx, and grepping through it's log indicates no other attempts to post messages to the channel
Continuwuity and ntfy are running on the same server, and the domain used for ntfy is explicitly mapped to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts.

topically related: #914, #686?

914: Probably not, SchildiNext push history is empty.
686: Can't check the logs right now but I don't remember seeing anything like that.

Found something: While the ntfy App shows two push channels on my own server (for FluffyChat and SchildiNext), the list of push targets in FluffyChat shows one on my own server for SchildiNext and one on matrix.gateway.unifiedpush.org for FluffyChat. This seems unexpected to me, but I'm not sure if it's related considering SchildiNext also didn't get any notifications

I've just set up 0.5.6 and push notifications work perfectly as far as I can see.

Most of the time yes, occasionally a bit delayed but that might be a ntfy issue
