“Notify” is such an underrated feature. Why does it only work with topics? I think it should work with replies too.
I’ve participated in many Discourse communities over the past five years or so. In that span of time, I’ve only ever seen “Notify” be used a few times. It’s often neglected and most users don’t seem to know that it even exists. When it does actually happen to be used by a user, it usually results in a lot of confusion from the recipient who is clueless and ends up asking what it is.
I think that expanding the use cases of “Notify” would really help bring it into the spotlight. Currently, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of a topic and click on the “Share” button to actually find it. Most people don’t seem to use that button and instead use the “Share” button that can be found in the original post. For whatever reason, “Notify” doesn’t even show up when you click on that button. Even if that was “fixed” per se, I still think that “Notify” should be able to work with replies.
Also, what about a dedicated button for “Notify” next to the “Share” button or something like that? Maybe through a plugin instead?
按钮来共享主题，因此永远不会看到它。我本人几个月前也是偶然发现它的——并立刻爱上了它！
