not sure if it's a bug or by design, but notes in subthreads of a muted conversation show up in notifications. imo muting a conversation should mute all notes in the the thread including subthreads.

Ok I think I’ve successfully muted it now, thanks!
LOL just kidding nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5, I have dozens of notifications now from the muted thread.
Seems like #Damus muted old notes, but new notes in the same thread are still pinging me. 
It also indicates that I muted the users, but that was not my intent. Just want to mute the #hellthread 😂
The users are not muted even though it says that
Currently you have to mute every subthread that spawns
lol ain’t no one got time for that. But thanks for the heads up
It sounds like you’re saying I have to mute every individual reply that branches off of the original post.
If so, what is even the point of muting a thread?? I must be missing something
All the direct child notes are muted, but if people start commenting on those notes and their children, the notifications will start showing up. I think it’s just a bug.
It’s either that or mute every person that posts in the hellthread. That’s what I used to do before Damus added the ability to mute a conversation. I’ve been in almost every single hellthread. It sucks. 😂
