One feature I miss from reddit is preventing my inbox from being cluttered by responses to comments that I don’t care to read.
Seems to me that any comment that goes about +50 inevitably attracts commentors that are better off ignored. The inability to turn off inbox replies for a controversial but upvoted comment results in spam that reduces incentive to participate in the community.
Me personally, I find negative comments easier to respond correctly to when they’re presented in the context of the other comments as opposed to isolated in my inbox.
As such I believe this feature contributes to higher quality participation overall.
Probably this would need to be submitted to the lemmy developers, not the lemmy.ca admins.
Yes this would be up to the developers, and I actually found a related issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3042
It was closed fairly recently, so I assume it’s coming in a future version of Lemmy
