If you’re trying to fully De-Google on GrapheneOS one of the thorny issues you have to solve is that push notifications don’t work without Google Play Services. For my primary profile my goal was to have Google Play and Play Services completely disabled.
Molly allows you to select an alternative push notifications setup. I used Sunup which I think uses a Mozilla service and then you set it up with a public MollySocket server and make sure Sunup has unrestricted battery access and then push notifications work reliably without Play Services.
Why Molly over the official client, may I ask? The official client is already OSS.

I’m running Signal v8.24.4 on GrapheneOS, no play services, and notifications are working fine. Did you make sure to turn off battery optimization?
