So this will not show me replies to my comments, it is just showing comments with different layout? It's not very clear from title and description.
I am following my comments through threads button in top, though it's not so easy to notice which have new reply and everything need to be checked manually.

I wish there was some service where you enter your HN username and it would show you newest replies to all your comments.

- twic 4y agoA consequence of the current system is that it's impractical for an active user to have long-running conversations. As soon as a comment of mine has scrolled off the first page of threads, i'll almost never see a reply to it. I would want to be very confident that this was a bad thing before "fixing" it. HN's current culture must inevitably be shaped by this effect. How would it change if it was removed? I'm not sure i want HN to become another forum where pairs of people get into long back-and-forths.
- kazinator 4y agoI don't see how hntoast is going to address this problem. Say someone just replied to a comment of mine I made a month ago. Where do I see it? The user interface you need to solve that problem is to be able to put in your user ID to see a timeline of all replies to any of your items whatsoever, not replies to a specific post.
