I think I don't understand how threads work on here! I keep replying to threads involving multiple people but there are not in the @ list.

@abucci It's been a long time ago, that I looked at the yarnd code. Maybe you need to follow those people to mention them automatically? No idea. I just remember that it was changed. In the beginning there were quite a lot of mentions filled in when replying and then people decided against that behavior for some reason I cannot recall anymore.

it became too noisy so we dropped it; where a reply only mentions l the original poster.

For more context, so-called "Threads" or sometimes referred to as "Yarns" (hence Yarn social) basically follow the Twt Subject Extension and Twt Hash Extension

@prologic That makes sense. It has me thinking that maybe there is a user interface question of whether to "subscribe" a user to a topic, so that they can see notifications/mentions/what have you if they choose, but can turn that off too if they want. The thing that worries me is:

1. There's a topic I'm interested in that several people are discussing
2. I hit "Reply" and post my reply
3. The result of 2. is to only cite the topic and the person I "replied" to, so that all the others involved may not see my reply

Making this an option for the user can help with the noise problem--if a topic becomes too noisy they can turn off notifications.

Idk maybe you all thought this through already and I'm just catching up!

@abucci we actually have thought about and discussed the idea of subscribing to tags. I think it's actually in our backlog but we haven't implemented it yet 👌
