I first became aware of this about 4 months ago.

GitHub issue is 3069:

It would be awesome if we could follow a post to be alerted of new comments added.

As we are at it, why stop with posts? I'd suggest also having such alerts with comment sub-trees would be nice.

I was in a thread in [email protected] earlier today, and it seems like there is still interest in this feature.

Last I heard, it seemed like progress on this feature is dependent on fixing an SQL Paging and filtering issue.

Any progress on this? Anything we can do to expedite the development of this feature?

Yup, it was actually the piefed announcement which prompted my original post on this.

Does this feature have any interoperability yet (i.e can I follow an Mbin or Lemmy comment from piefed), or is it strictly piefed only?

You can subscribe to Lemmy communities from Piefed, so I guess it works wherever the community is hosted

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if Piefed doesn't yet have an app, how do the notifications... notify?

I.e, will my phone to vibrate or make a noise, or do I still have to check my inbox manually? (Still easier than checking multiple threads manually)

Very late reply - the 'app' at the moment is just a PWA, so it requires a manual check
