PieFed UI: "Notify about new comments under the post"/"Parent notification" in comment options (piefed.zip)
submitted 1 week ago by INeedMana@piefed.zip to c/piefed_meta@piefed.social
2 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 
  1. I know there is "issues" in the repo
    But I rather aim to bring up a discussion than raise technical issue
  2. I know there is the bell button on the post
    But I think it would be QoL if that option was also next to "Comment" button

Sometimes I write a comment on a post that is relatively new. Often, in such cases, I am interested in what others comment. Having a checkbox to get notified of other comments (effectively clicking the bell button via the action of commenting) would be handy

Also, same thing for comment on another comment. I often am interested in what others will write in response to the comment I'm commenting on

So I think it might be a good idea to have not only the child notification checkbox, but also parent notification one

The default position of the checkbox could be changed in settings or just remembered from the previous comment

What does PieFed Meta think of this?

I'm not sure, but I think there /might/ be a codeberg issue for this. I know I've personally inquired about it.

If I found what you are referring to (and not someone else's messages), this is a chain of comments on a closed issue. Might have fallen through the cracks
