Notify User to New Data

I'm using mongodb with mongoose and node.js with express.

I'm building a communication platform where users can post suggestions for certain other users to view and respond. If two users are using at once, is there a way for there to be live real time updates of new suggestions. I know I can use websockets for this, but I was wondering what standard practice is without websockets. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I've only been coding for 6 months, so I'm still learning! Thank you.

socket.io

it uses websocket when possible. If browser does not support it.long polling is used

But you write the same code once for all situations. it handles them for you
