Okay so DISCLAIMER I literally just got here* so like heck if I know what I'm talking about or if I'm totally misunderstanding standard Dreamwidth concepts or whatever,
but
Maybe if you restrict it to only people you have a prior relationship with?
Like, "notify me when people I've given access to mention me in a post"?
Or like it can be customizable levels -- "notify me when these people mention me: [ people I've given access to / people who subscribe to me / anyone ]".
... but like I've been here for less than a day, I am probably at least minorly misunderstanding the intuitive conception of those measures of connection that have built up over time, etc.
... also, I just realized that that actually didn't even solve the use-case you thought of, because you were talking about up-thread. Maybe some sort of "within this community" sense, or something?
.. I have no idea what I'm talking about. (But maybe something I tossed out there could hit a useful idea, by luck..?)
(* Like I'd heard about Dreamwidth and been aware of it's existence since at least half a decade ago but no yeah in terms of coming here I'm, uh, Tumblr Diaspora. Hi.)
