We have one topic where new community members are introducing themselves and I’m seeing lots of cases where I’d like to get into a more in-depth conversation on a tangent to the thread topic.

If I reply to a comment, it shows up nicely under a `1 Reply` link, but also at the end of the topic. I’m unsure how notifications work in this case, but it seems like things might get too chatty if I go through and respond to each new member in the same thread.

Is there a recommended way to reply to an existing discussion about a new topic? I thought there might be a feature to reply as a new topic, and I searched around for it. Seems like this feature may have existed previously but has since been removed.

So I have two questions:

1. If I go through and reply and have lots of tangential conversations with the users introducing themsleves in one topic, will it create a ton of irrelevant notification noise for everyone on the thread?

2. Is there a way to reply to a post as a new topic? If not, as a feature how do you approach this case?

The feature is still existing but not so easy to find anymore. You have to click on the _share a link to post_ button next to the reply button (either of the post or of the topic at the bottom of the page). In the popup, you have an option to create a new linked topic. Imho, that’s the preferable solution in your case. Note, that you can also quote from within the other topic (try out to select text for quoting).
