There aren't any automatic notifications and that's by intentional design, to break the strong engagement loops that other social media sites run on.<p>Confirmed by HN's @dang here:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22930391" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22930391</a><p>(You can *manually* scan for replies in your "threads" link, on the off chance you haven't noticed that).
I check when I notice my points have gone up, and I'm curious what it was. Sometimes that means it'll take a few days before I've even noticed.<p>As someone else pointed out, it's by design. Twitter and YouTube sometimes get bogged down by inevitable debates. It's avoided here.
Checking the "threads" page. A notification on the main page would be nice (maybe in place of the useless and attention-hostile points counter?).
