alicesamuel. you know what to do. github.com/bluesky-soci...
Remove REPLY_NOTIF_DEPTH · Issue #3985 · bluesky-social/atproto
In packages/bsky/src/data-plane/server/indexing/plugins/post.ts:75, there exists REPLY_NOTIF_DEPTH, hardcoded to 5. I know this was implemented way back because of the hellthread, but I believe it ...

Thomas DickersonMods are offline start a hell thread

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦NO
1 4aliceit an evil undocumented "feature" nobody knows about unless you've been around for the hellthread. in which case you may be entitled for compensation. anywho, it literally breaks user's expected notifications. it's evil. it needs to be exorcised
2 1 25aliceno other social network does this. because its a complete antipattern. you do not silently swallow a bunch of notifications after X levels in a thread, period.
2 2 16
Kanbaru 🌟 (one hikari of too many)wait what how deep are we talking
1 3aliceanything deeper than 5, you get no notifs.
4 1 7alicealice(this is the reference data plane which is fake and not what bluesky uses in prod which is closed source and secret. but as far as i know, this also exists in prod.)

6Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦If something is 5 levels below your last comment, then you're likely not involved in that part of the thread anymore
1 2alicesorry but that's literal nonsense
1 4alicemaybe true for you. very happy for you. extremely not true for me and most people.
1 1Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦[citation needed] for the "most people" part, I'm afraid…
2 2Kanbaru 🌟 (one hikari of too many)WHAT
1 1Kanbaru 🌟 (one hikari of too many)so it's not just that long threads don't show up on the timeline properly, they actually mean I won't get notifications for them? are you fucking kidding me?
1 1aliceyes that is indeed the case. it's a real bluesky special
1 2Kanbaru 🌟 (one hikari of too many)oh this is specifically about the case where a thread of replies to you reaches a certain depth without you replying back?
is this how they deal with there being no way to untag someone
1 3Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦5 levels below any your post/comment, that is, not 5 levels from the top
1aliceyeah honestly that makes it worse in a way
Aaron Mills 🏳️⚧️Yeah, it's had it's time. It was understandable when it was implemented before better notification control.
If there's blockers to removing it then they should be worked on too! It's very unintuitive for users.
