Is there any way to be notified when others respond to your comments? I feel like it naturally extinguishes conversations to not have any notifications? (kbin.social)

I've gone back and noticed that sometimes a handful of people had responded to a previous comment and I never realized it.

As it stands, it seems you only get notifications if people actually manually mention your username. Is there any method to get post/thread reply notifications?

Just today I had a reply to one of my comments, the notification popped up while I was browsing, but when I went to read it the reply itself had a timestamp of two hours prior. It's possible that this has happened before, but it was the first one that I noticed. Maybe more usage is lagging propagation, especially if the timing seems to be roughly the same amount.

I just realized this might not be seen for a bit if that's true, lol.

Even better, now I have a reply that I had already seen earlier that is popping up as a new one. It clears in the top bar when I go read it, but then when I refresh it's back again as new. Growing pains.

Only 10 hours later... haha!
But it was nigh time, so I had good reason.. 😁

And yes, it seems to be 2 hours every time, which is what made me think it's not a me problem but a kbin/fed thing, even though I don't know enough about how it all works, from reading the banner you get when you browse from kbin to another instance I know that there might be some delays, so I just put it down to that.
