What do you think of a "solution" and "follow" feature so a lemmy instance can be used as a federated stackoverflow alternative? (lemmy.ml)

Stackoverflow is one of the most useful websites online imo and I think it would be great to be able to mark comments as the one that solved your issue and also have the ability to "follow" a post and/or comment thread so you get notifications on updates to a post or comment you didn't post.

Friendica has a follow thread feature and yes, it's so convenient. Lemmy should have that as well imo.

If you can find documentation on how they do it I would appreciate you sharing it so we can show to the lemmy devs to simplify their work if they decide to implement it.
