Idea: Allow users to subscribe to threads they didn't make so they can get alerted of top-level replies (lemm.ee)

Perhaps some instances or some add-ons do this. I think it should be native.

Are we going to turn this community into a place for feature requests?

[–] Skavau@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago

I'm done now. Just some thoughts that popped into my head.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

If those features are relevant to make communities grow, I don't see the issue

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, but they'd probably be better submitted as GitHub issues instead of posts here, or in this case searching for the already existing issue

[–] Skavau@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I mean this exists on a few instances. Namely Piefed. That's fine, but obviously most people don't use Piefed. The implication here is that it should be in the base lemmy model.

I agree with you that Lemmy should have it (and seems like it will in v1.0), but the devs are more likely to see our feature requests if we submit them on Github instead of as random posts in different communities

and Github makes it easier to prevent duplicate submissions
