I just realized you can’t “follow” a post, and get notified of any new replies to it.

Yes, I know all the blah blah blah about not getting all replies on my instance. It would still be a nice feature for some threads like “follow me as I make progress on this macrame quilt of the great puppy war of 1782” type threads posts.

Sure you can. A number of projects have re-purposed the old OStatus remote follow endpoint so that the target will accept posts as well as actors.
