killDo we not have reply notifications on Kbin? (especially for comments)
I just noticed that... #kbinMeta
dannekroseDo you have your notifications enabled in the Settings tab of your account? If you click on your account name and select Settings, on the General tab underneath the Writing and Privacy sections should be the notification section to choose what to enable.
w-what, why is this disabled lol
dismalnowI have had reply notifications off on reddit due to the pedantic, combative, "talk at you" atmosphere that metastisized over the years - so I was pleasantly surprised.
IMO - the first thing you should do with new software or services is go over the settings because the defaults are likely not for your benefit.
Opt-in philosophy > opt-out. You want it? You enable it.
what is this "talk at you" atmosphere?
and i know that you should check the settings but i'm just a bit dumb and, while i know it, i don't always do it, because i forget :) but yeah i've always known that's best practice.
Checking that the settings aren't going to own your firstborn is a should task, but I'm lazy too. :D
"talk at you" atmosphere
There's probably already a common term for this, but I use that terminology.
"Talking at you" instead of "talking to you" is where a responding comment isn't necessarily off topic, but it's also not directed at you. "Talk at you" style commenting is purposed to leverage what you've said for pushing an agenda, or as a writing prompt - often due to where your comment is positioned. Any response which doesn't coincide with the user's agenda doesn't receive any sort of organic response.
It seemed that "talking at you" grew to be the general mode of conversation on reddit as it grew too big. Organic conversations rarely occur because people end up just shouting their opinion into the void, competing for visibility by hanging their agenda on the most visible and tangentially relevant comment in a thread, or just plain shitposting the same dumb thing that is likely to generate imaginary internet points.
Hope that makes sense. heh
LiontigerwingsMaybe I'm too dumb to understand the notification setting but which options do I tic to get it to display notifications like it would on reddit. In other words, on my comments I'll get any direct replys, but on threads I post myself, I get notified of all top level comments, but not the replies to those comments.
I think comments may be processed as posts so it might be the number 3 but i'm not sure, maybe test it :)
FriendAs far as I can tell a comment is a response to a thread. A post is a microblog entry and a reply is a response to a post.
I’ll add my personal thoughts a little bit.
I think enabling both options in the Writing section to add the mentions automatically to anything you write might be helpful as well. As you can see here, this should show up as a mentioned notification which can help when sifting through notifications about new threads or posts. I understand why it’s not enabled by default but I’ve found it useful so far.
Hi, moderator of m/quickstart here.
Here's how to get notified when someone replies to your thread or comment.
Not working since the federation kicked back in.

Not getting any reply notifications anymore.
I have option 1, 3 and 4 enabled. It was working before, but for 3 days it's not working now, which I think coincides with the federation integration of kbin. I tried resetting the three settings, but that did only work for 1 notification a day ago.
Interesting. I got a notification for your comment. But then again I do have federation turned off.
