Is there no way to get notifications for replies?

[frustrated]

Is there no way to get email notifications to reply to a post you made in someone else's thread? It seems the only notification that one gets is if you start your own thread

Yes, but you have to enable it in notifications settings.

Account > account settings > notifications > then toggle the required options.

You can also enable it per thread at the top of the page:

Oh! and you can follow users from their profiles.
