is there any way to subscribe to a specific post and get updates when someone replies? - Lemmy.world

I hope this is the right community to post in. This is one functionality from Reddit I find myself missing quite a bit. Is there any way I can subscribe to a single post (that I didn’t make) and get a notification whenever someone comments? I’m on Connect for Lemmy, but maybe a different app would offer this?

No that option doesn’t exist in Lemmy for now.

If you use RSS feeds, you can use Open RSS. For instance you can susbscribe to the comments on this post using this feed:

openrss.org/lemmy.world/post/4010300

Huh! That implies that it wouldn’t be too hard to provide notifications then, right?

Seems like the server side infrastructure is already there, and the clients just need to integrate it. It’s not as simple as an API call though but I guess it utilizes the Don’t Repeat Yourself and keep it simple (stupid) software development principles. Would be good to see this implemented

Lemmios has a removed feature that reminds you about a post after a while.
