To elaborate: one of the top features that I switched to PieFed for was the ability to choose to either receive or arguably more importantly NOT receive notifications on pretty much everything. Communities, users, individual posts, comment replies, you name it. There is a little bell icon that you simply press to toggle and then receive - or don’t - the replies from then on out. Reverse the decision at any time. Or there’s a listing somewhere to clean up old stuff.
I accidentally made a comment on Hexbear.net once, and then again on lemmygrad.ml, each of which triggered replies to me for WEEKS and WEEKS afterwards. I almost quit Lemmy after that:-(. Actually, technically I suppose I did! (I am writing this to you from PieFed after all:-).
