I had an idea, inspired by the forums. What if we could follow a comment thread? When you follow a comment thread, you would receive notifications whenever someone replied to anyone on the thread, regardless of who they were replying to.
This would be helpful in certain cases, like if you wanted to keep tabs on conversations about your comment, even if they weren't replying to you directly.
And, some people might make comment threads on their profiles to give their followers updates, so you could perhaps follow a thread that would contain these updates.

Mockups:

The only problem I’m seeing here is the reply limit, which is 25. Since you can’t increase it, I don’t see how this is very useful.

this isn't just for studios.

Oh, thought it was everywhere, weird. But why exactly would this benefit scratch? It’s not 100% a social platform.

I thought it would benefit scratch the same way having a follow button on discussion forums does, allowing people to avoid checking the same thread really often, which makes a lot of requests to the servers, when they can instead wait for their messages to show a 1.

You see, what if it's not your comment thread, like in TFH where you want to check your rejections? I support, would be very useful to check conversations.

Changing post…

While I see the practical uses this suggestion has, I think that there are too many comment threads to not have any limits to it. I'd say that you should be able to follow 100 or so threads at a time, and that there'll be a link (or tab, most likely a tab) to a list containing a list of followed comment threads in my stuff.

l think 140 threads would work.

Uwa! Bump!

What would the message say? Something like this;

You are already following 140 threads. To follow more threads, you'll have to unfollow some of them.

Yuh Yuh, I'd like to stay updated on certain comment threads.

That is a good way to do it. I'll add that to the OP later
