@iamlayer8@IceCubesApp I would say this could be added to any of the three!
If we want to have this feature ASAP it could be done in a client (in a hacky way)
This definitely should be added to Mastodon, and then added to its API
This behavior should be documented in AP somewhere for best practices for all software to implement.
@liaizon@iamlayer8 The thing is, what qualifies as a response worthy of a notification?
I'd argue that at minimum Mastodon could notify you if you receive responses to reply chains you've commented in. That would go a long way towards reducing mention spam.
Mastodon doesn't really store a context that can be referred against, though it is of course possible.
ActivityPub supports the context property, which the forum working group is hoping to support.
FWIW NodeBB already supports topic notifications, because we build our own context. If @liaizon or anyone else I follow replies to your post, I'll still be notified, even if I am not mentioned!
