   If someone replies to your toot but don't keep your @ in the reply, you get no notification about the reply. This seems like a big problem! If anyone uses my posts to spread their ideas to my readers, I want to know about it.

     @eviloatmeal I don't know. Haven't used other fediverse apps much, unfortunately.

     @forteller Really? Is that just a Mastodon thing?

     @forteller Ok, but you didn't remove my handle in this reply... That was sort of the whole point, we would have found out immediately.

     Evil oatmeal you say? You are clearly an elephant, not a meal at all! This is obviously a conspiracy, what are you hiding, who are paying you to deceive us all!?!?!!

     @forteller Hmm, yeah, doesn't look like my instance is sending out a notification for that.

     @forteller Like specifically the thing it's notifying me about is a mention, not a reply.

     Yes, I'm replying to you right now. It's in the thread, and others will see it if they click on your toot above this one. But you won't know unless you actively look for it.

     @forteller is it a reply if it doesn’t keep the @?

     @starseekr Haha, yes this is another problem: There's no indication in the UI itself that one toot is part of a thread. You have to infer it from the fact that it starts with an @, but it's not hard to think of many reasons to start with @ without being a thread. @thomasrost #Mastodon #MastoMeta

     @forteller very disconnected and slightly annoying toot to show up in the feed.

     @eviloatmeal @thomasrost @starseekr Yeah, I also forgot that mine does too, some times. Like the ones in this thread seems to not have that indication for some reason, while others does. See these examples:

     @forteller @starseekr @thomasrost That's definitely a client issue. If I have access to the post being replied to, my client clearly indicates that a post is a reply.

     @starseekr @eviloatmeal @thomasrost So we have two big issues here:

     1) No notification if someone replies without your @
     2) Sometimes no UI indication in the home timeline that a post is in replay to another post.

     I'm trying to see if this has already been reported in the GitHub issues, but I'm really bad at searching. If any of you can find it, please let me know. If not we need to create new issues for this.

     @eviloatmeal @thomasrost @forteller annnnd I forgot the image text. The toot seems like an original one, no indicator showing it is a reply to someone.

     @eviloatmeal @thomasrost @forteller the original toot in Tusky. All I can tell is that someone replied to it.

     @forteller @starseekr @thomasrost As you can see in this screenshot of my client, it clearly shows "reply to" for posts that are replies to a known post.

     @starseekr @eviloatmeal @thomasrost Oh and btw, the fact that you don't get any notifications about boosts or likes on your boosts here is a problem, because it makes things seem much more dead here than on the bird site. I love seeing what impact my interactions have. If I see others like/boost what I boost, then I feel like there's a reason for me to come back and boost more. If I don't get anything like that, it seems nothing I do matters much. #Mastodon #MastoMeta
