I am notified to comments made on post I’ve made, but how can I “subscribe” to a post that someone else created? I’d like to be able to easily see additional comments as they are made.
I can kind of do this from my saved posts, but that means going and looking to see if there are any new comments on each of those. That isn’t very useful.
You must log in or # to comment.
I’m not sure anything like that exists for Lemmy yet. I remember that feature came out quite a bit later in Reddit’s history
So what is the general approach that people use to go back to see if more comments are added?
Just save the post with the save tag and check back, I guess
I’d also like something like that for communities (so that I’m notified when there are new posts)
We should also pick a new term to reduce confusion
Maybe “monitor”, “track”, or “watch”?
“Lemmygander”
Lemmylook
Lemmygagging
Thank you! Edit: do you know any client which supports this feature?
I don’t know of any, sorry
I don’t think there’s something as granular as that but you can enable email notifications for any comment or post you make
I’m not sure what feature you’re referring to as Reddit never had this feature to my knowledge.
For the old Reddit interface (that you can still go back to), between the post and the comments towards the right is a button labeled “subscribe”. Pressing that gives a popup saying “You are now subscribed … for 7 days …”.
During the next 7 days, if any new comments come in, you are notified about them.
If you go to “Your Dashboard” and then the “My Subscriptions” you can see your subscriptions and renew them (for more days or unsubscribe.)
Huh, TIL…
