Replies should be able to utilize "Notify"

This is the first time I’m noticing it exists and is a feature I may use more 1) that I know it exists and 2) if it were attached to the specific post and not the overall topic.

I wonder if over time, I’ll want it to also have the ability to include a short message so the person has some context into why I’m notifying them, otherwise I may find myself adding the extra step to send them a message or chat to clue them in and at that point, I might as well just send them the link in the message/chat. I believe the invite feature has an option for a message and yet I also know that it goes through email, not just a notification in the user account.

I’ve also wanted the ability to have the invite button in the post share menu, not just the topic share menu, as sometimes I want to invite someone at a specific part of the conversation. I recognize this may be a more complex change though.

Overall, I worry a bit if people start sharing more to specific posts instead of the overall topic about what ramifications that’ll have on conversation dynamics, yet I imagine you all may have more seasoned perspectives on how that might play out.
