I went to see if I had any replies to a comment I left on a video for the first time today and it's really hidden to get back to them if you don't remember the exact video. I wonder if it's purposeful friction or just not a priority.

- croes 5mo agoAnd now try to find the comment someone replied to
- squigz 5mo agoOh, fair enough. That is indeed not shown anywhere it seems.
- loevborg 5mo agoI agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me
- squigz 5mo agoDo you and GP not get notifications for replies and (at least some) likes?
- kami23 5mo agoIn my case I have almost all notifications disabled so maybe there's an option somewhere. Generally find those notification badges too powerful for me to not check and then get waylaid doom scrolling/watching, so I've made it a habit to always disable them everywhere. Somewhat tempted to re-enable it as I only really comment on videos that are for very very niche communities and I'm usually answering or asking questions.
- croes 5mo agoI get the notifications but it’s sometimes hard to know for which comment if it’s more than one in a discussion.
- loevborg 5mo agoI don't think I get notified but maybe it's because my replies are unpopular
