Do we not have reply notifications on Kbin? (especially for comments) (kbin.social)

I just noticed that

  1. people don't read my comments as much here as on Lemmy so I get way fewer replies
  2. someone replied to me and I didn't see it in my notifications, even after tapping Notifications, so I had to go to the thread where he replied to me, check out all my 10+ comments, and see that one of them had a reply. I saw no other way to find this.

Maybe I'm too dumb to understand the notification setting but which options do I tic to get it to display notifications like it would on reddit. In other words, on my comments I'll get any direct replys, but on threads I post myself, I get notified of all top level comments, but not the replies to those comments.

Swap 1 with 2. 2 means you would get notifications in a thread submitted by you, by people replying to comments from other people.

Ok. I'll give that a go. That's the one thing I don't want.

both the comments ones, you've done it alright it seems to me.

I think comments may be processed as posts so it might be the number 3 but i'm not sure, maybe test it :)

As far as I can tell a comment is a response to a thread. A post is a microblog entry and a reply is a response to a post.
