Can we get notifications when somebody replies to a post that we have replied on/subscribed?
Hmmm that's kind of beyond the scope of communities and I am a little worried about the performance impact (more things to track) but it does seem like a worthy addition to notifications. It's true that in other medias when you write a reply then you are subscribed to the "thread".
Would you like to see all comments in reply to a post ? Only for comments right ? Eg if I were to reply to artgirl in your comment thread you'd like to see a notification like "howo replied to artgirl on your comment antisocialist/...."
Yes, this would make tracking conversations much, much easier.
Howo has replied to [a comment] on [this post] that you commented on/subscribed to.
or,
Howo has replied to [artgirl's comment] on [your post].
or,
Howo has replied to [artgirl's comment] on [a comment] on [your post]/[your comment].
Does seem to be a lot to track, but I think the conversational payoff is immense.
Of course the notifications should be opt in to not get overwhelmed by the really popular topics.
Maybe a choice to mute individuals in the notification to preclude the noise.
A simple check box, yes/no to continue receiving notifications from this account.
On ecency we get such notifications, oh but only for our own comments on a post...
Right, I want to track when others comment, so that can follow the conversation without having to remember each post to go back to see if somebody commented.
It's like a forum and being subscribed to a thread.
When others comment, we can get notified of that.
You can bookmark any comment or post and you will be notified when there is new reply to that post or comment.
