New piefed feature , anyone can subscribe to any post or comment (piefed is a reddit and lemmy alternative)

Currently, posters can be notified about replies to their posts or comments, or subscribe to a community for notifications about posts in that community. It'd be good to be able to subscribe to a post or comment too.

This is a feature that as far as i know lemmy does not have, so it might be worth it to checkout and support piefed, it will probably be useful if there are certain topics that are really relevant to you and you want to develop in depth knowledge of.

Yea that’d be a handy feature to help keep conversations going. It’s too easy to forget about conversations you’re interested in if they’re not in your feed.

This is a great feature. Lemmy should implement this as well.

Is this using ActivityPub? I notice that the lead dev shares a username with a lemmy.world admin.
EDIT: yes it is I missed that it is already federated with Lemmy instances
- The lead dev is Rimu - which isn't on LW's admin list.
