Here's a thought. I read interesting posts, and the commentary on them. And then there may be more (probably also interesting) commentary, but it doesn't necessarily bubble up for me in notifications - I think it depends on whether it's on the reply thread to me. Or maybe if I'm the one who posted it.
Anyway...if there were a way to optionally see ALL NEW comments on a post that I've somehow shown interest in. Like if I zapped it, or something.
And when I say "see", I mean "it shows up in my notifications".
You can subscribe to posts youre interested in, but that’s a manual option via the overflow menu.
Maybe a user setting to automatically subscribe you to posts you zap, which means you can always go in and manually unsubscribe if you don’t want to hear about it any more

I pasted a screenshot below of the current "notify me when" options. Maybe there could be another option in Settings:
"more comments are made on a post I zapped".
...but you'd have to batch it together...so if there were 20 new comments on a post you zapped, you'd want to only see 1 when you checked notifications.

so if there were 20 new comments on a post you zapped, you'd want to only see 1 when you checked notifications.
So you only want to know if there have been new comments so you can look them up yourselves?
I am curious if you tried the 'subscribe' feature. Is it too cumbersome to subscribe manually or do you not like that you receive a separate notification for each reply?
reply
Yeah, honestly I'm probably too lazy to right click and subscribe. As a matter of fact I didn't even know you could do that! But if I zap, I'm thinking I'd want to subscribe. Maybe. Who knows, maybe I'd find it too many notifications.
Actually maybe zapping is too low a bar. Maybe it should be something like...if I ever commented on the post. Or maybe 2 separate options?
