Sort of, but doesn’t it just sort by the latest comment? I.e. any thread would be bumped to the top by a single comment? I might be wrong. But that makes it kind of less than ideal if true.
Yes, but that doesn’t scale. If there are thousands of comments being submitted constantly, the All feed would just be a new page every time you refresh for the new comments sort. It would be chaotic.
It should instead be based on a recent rate of comments for instance. Much like normal votes but comments instead and not based on the age of the post.
Yea it’s still only a partial solution. Even those feeds could get very active over time (we can hope 😅). The way Piefed implemented feeds is interesting but seems almost overengineered? Sharing feeds could have been done via a simple query parameter I feel like.
Feeds can be personal, so you can decide how granular to you want them. So far I’m able to follow every conversation on the different topics I like, so I would say it works quite well so far.
They can be public too, but personally I prefer to customize my own.
“New comments” sort helps with that

That’s indeed how it works (and that’s I was able to see those comments).
It works for me, how would you like to have it differently? IIRC on old school forums a single message would also bump the thread

Piefed partially solves that with multicommunities
That way you can follow your hobbies feeds, your tech feed, your art feed separately.
For All it would indeed be messy.
