I use a service called HN Notify to get email notifications when one of my comments has been replied to. It seems to work quite well. https://hnnotify.xyz (To the author of HN Notify: if you're reading this, thank you!).

I would 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, the activation energy naturally falls below the threshold and attention moves on to something else. That seems healthy for <i>curious</i> conversation, which fits the prime directive of HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20optimiz%20by:dang). What we don't do is resort to technical tricks to keep that energy jazzed up.
