Not sure how feasible this would be, but my favourite Reddit app (Joey) has this feature.
It allows a user to “follow” an arbitrary post or comment and receive an notifications when new comments or replies are posted. E.g. “Post ‘abc’ has 9 new comments” or “Comment ‘xyz’ has 3 new replies”.
Useful for keeping up with active threads which have gotten buried in the feed due to age, as well as cases of “I have that question too, and would love to know the answer if someone responds”.
Anyway, thanks Bazsalanszky for an already great app! It is my current most-used Lemmy app.
This will very useful. Right now the only approach I see is to save the post or comment and revisit it after some time, but there are no notifications.
I think sync has a similar feature too, I’m not sure though.
I agree. This would be a cool addition
