I see this as a feature. I check the “threads” like periodically to see if there is anything to reply to, but once it falls off the first page, it’s pretty much over (unless it’s something very specific I wanted to keep an eye on, which is rare).

This prevents a lot of the long back and forths, or getting pulled into an old conversation, that would often happen on other platforms with notifications.

It makes a reply more of an intentional act. With notifications it feels more like a task that needs to be completed.
