Following notes, threads, or articles

Sometimes I come across a thread that I find interesting and would like to be notified of new comments. Bookmarking doesn't work because I forget stuff very quickly, and they end up piling up. Commenting +1 is works but we can do better.

We can probably extend NIP-51 Lists to add e or a tags to kind:30000 follow sets, but would rather add a new kind to the NIP.

That's a good idea like the [ 🔔️ Subscribe ] button on a github issue.

It reminds me of NIP-10. When posting a kind:1 it may be better to add an e tag to that new list (kind:1???? "Notifications") instead of relying on people adding p tags to replies. It would allow the author to unsubscribe to notifications on their own note which is currently not possible.

Then a client is free to check just for follows p-tagging the user, limiting p tag spam.

I feel like this kind of stuff is better suited to being stored locally, temporarily, inside a client's internal database.

But I actually like @arthurfranca's idea of not shoving p tags into thread replies.

Added "notification" set name at #784 to support the subscribe/unsubscribe feature. A intend using it instead of relying on the bunch of NIP-10 thread p tags.
