I first became aware of this about 4 months ago.

GitHub issue is 3069:

It would be awesome if we could follow a post to be alerted of new comments added.

As we are at it, why stop with posts? I'd suggest also having such alerts with comment sub-trees would be nice.

I was in a thread in !fediverse@lemmy.world earlier today, and it seems like there is still interest in this feature.

Last I heard, it seemed like progress on this feature is dependent on fixing an SQL Paging and filtering issue.

Any progress on this? Anything we can do to expedite the development of this feature?

@nutomic@lemmy.ml Just wanted to check in to see if there is any progress on this. Anything we can do to help expedite the development of this feature?

If you can't develop it yourself, i suggest putting a bounty on algora or polar , and trying to crowdsource the money (e.g. by putting a link to the bounty on your profile with an explanation).

A bounty is an interesting idea. Has it been used for Lemmy development or similar before? I'm not aware of any examples, but I don't closely follow development.

iirc yes, there was actually a link on every issue opened (see example), it was on bountysource which eventually died and iirc it was at a time where lemmy was not nearly as popular.
