Hey, I hope this is the right community for this question :))

I volunteer at a local place, but they only communicate through a facebook group that I never check. My question is -

Is there a way to get a notification, whenever there's a new post in the group, hopefully through some FOSS :))

Not sure how helpful this is but in the past I used a Firefox addon called check 4 change

You can let Firefox monitor a website in the background for change.

A con of this solution is that it only works when Firefox is running.

You could also try to maybe automate it with

Or something like this https://visualping.io/blog/how-to-be-alerted-when-someone-posts-on-facebook/
