How do you get notifications for comments on HN?

This is a pretty common question and should probably be in the FAQ.

If you search the archives, you can see plenty of people asking this and a few third-party sites that will notify you of comments.

Last year, dang posted this:

> I look at it this way: it's designed for engaged, prolonged discussion if and only if people continue to be interested enough in it to remember. If they aren't, activation energy falls below a certain threshold and attention naturally moves on to something else. That seems healthy for curious conversation, which fits the prime directive of HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

> What we don't do is resort to technical tricks to keep that energy buzzed up. We're optimizing for curiosity, not engagement.

None from Hacker News itself.

You can use http://www.hnreplies.com/ for email or https://hnrss.org/replies?id=coreyhn for RSS.

nnhackernews only shows new comments for the tiny fraction of threads you've read (and hides everything else).

It won't notify you of your upvotes however, which is what most people are after. Only manually refreshing "news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=you" opens that narcissism drip.
