I can see that happening. What does it mean to follow a conversation to you? What are you hoping to gain?
What does it mean to follow a conversation to you?
Probably (a lot) more screen real estate, lol. I can imagine following a conversation if somehow the whole thread could be made visible on a single screen, with a little red dot appearing whenever and wherever a participant adds a comment, Probably completely impractical, but that's how I'd describe it.
What are you hoping to gain?
I was hoping the notifications would point me to where we are in the conversation, but I couldn't figure out if/how the notifications were ordered / stacked, if that makes sense?

That's helpful. It sounds like you might want an aggregate of what you've missed rather than a stream of everything that's happened.
I think this would be useful in all our conversation notifications - not just subscriptions. I'll think on it more.

A trivial way that might help a bit is the notification provides some relevant sub-tree to contextualize the thing. At a minimum this could be the parent, but perhaps there could be more interesting ways to do it.
Notifications could also "roll up" the changed state (complete w/ relevant context) since you last saw it. Or maybe that's what you mean? That's probably what you mean.
I can imagine that re-loading a page (e.g,. this one) could have everything that was here last time I loaded the page be dimmed; everything new to me appears in its current illumination; and everything that would be an update (e.g., my own posts that have been zapped, replies to things I've said) would be highlighted or something. So the change set is easy to spot, and the relevant-to-me changeset is even easier?

Yep!

Yep that's what I'm thinking to address the problem that this solution implies: Feature request: option to archive seen posts
Feature requests are often the wrong solution to the right problem ... is what I like to say.

Sounds great, thanks!
