I went to see if I had any replies to a comment I left on a video for the first time today and it's really hidden to get back to them if you don't remember the exact video. I wonder if it's purposeful friction or just not a priority.

And now try to find the comment someone replied to

I agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me

[squigz]

Do you and GP not get notifications for replies and (at least some) likes?

[kami23]

In my case I have almost all notifications disabled so maybe there's an option somewhere. Generally find those notification badges too powerful for me to not check and then get waylaid doom scrolling/watching, so I've made it a habit to always disable them everywhere.

Somewhat tempted to re-enable it as I only really comment on videos that are for very very niche communities and I'm usually answering or asking questions.

I get the notifications but it’s sometimes hard to know for which comment if it’s more than one in a discussion.

[loevborg]

I don't think I get notified but maybe it's because my replies are unpopular

[squigz]

Oh, fair enough. That is indeed not shown anywhere it seems.
