Options to mute reply notifications? (lemmy.world)

Ran a search & didn't see a thread on this, although there may be a Git issue raised on the subject. Nevertheless, I think it would be nice to have a setting from the profile & per post/comment to mute notifications for replies to posts or comments, as desired.

On Reddit there was no such account-level option so far as I'm aware, so you basically had to make it a habit to disable reply notifications on every, single, post & comment if you didn't want to see your inbox/notifications lit up.

I know this may be a little counter-intuitive, but after awhile I honestly don't want to see that someone randomly replied to one of my comments or posts from who knows how long ago. In the cases that I might, though, I'd leave the notifications on, of course.

There was some weirdo on reddit who only replied to comments that were years old. I'm not sure how he did it, as I thought posts became locked after 30 days or whatever (maybe this varies by sub?).

The dude replied to some trivial comment I made 9 years earlier. So I looked at his comments history and they were all like that. I'm not sure what his game was. His replies were borderline "ackshually" in nature but mostly just replying to reply.

Some redditors are just inane.

As a mild illustration of why this would be a nice change, I'm unfortunately going to slightly bother Boozilla with this reply after almost 2 weeks. Sorry Boozilla!
