This doesn't solve your problem, but as far as getting a notification that someone has also replied to a certain post, you can turn off that, but it involves doing it every time. When I want to post a comment to someone's post, I do it and then immediately go to the beginning of the post and click on the down arrow. You can select "turn off notifications for this post" and then you won't have to see when anyone else responds.

@Moonchilde When did you unfollow and turn off Notifications? I have noticed it may take a day or two for that to kick in.

Thank you for this, @walkingal!

I do believe now that you mention it that I've had it happen before, and that after a few days the notifications finally disappeared. It might be info stored on different servers. It's something I do very rarely and I'd forgotten that until you said it. Hopefully it'

You cant just unfollow, you have to block them. Go through your security settings. And they dont know that you do it either.

Why can't you just ignore their posts? It's not like you read every thing that's on your FB page. Or do you? I don't, I get posts from the kids of friends and relatives and their friends but since I either don't know those people or don't care to read their stuff; I just ignore them and move to something I care about. I don't get so many that I want to unfriend them, I'm sure that I friended them to begin with.

I click hide post, then click on reason why. That gets rid of things I don't want to see for the most part. As for people: I also don't care what people are doing every darn minute of their lives and have "unfriended" many. I still see some of it, but it is less.

I hate to sound like an old grouch, but do these people really think their lives are so fascinating that we want/need to know their every waking moment?

Selfies are another matter: People are becoming so self-absorbed. When they are at an event, they are so busy taking selfies they miss the concert, aquarium, museum, whatever they paid to actually enjoy. Now we have the ubiquitous "selfie stick." I was out and nearly got hit with one of those. Is there an end to all this? I think not.

I don't tweet and I don't follow anyone's twitter... and I don't want to. Guess I am showing my age that way. (Maybe I am a luddite...nope that can't be it, I have electronics.) Just a crabby person.

It's FACEbook. That's what it's for. To post pictures and to post events in your life. LOL

Much like this forum. Way too much information for me. All the drama, all the dumb questions, yet you are here also.

I tried like crazy to unfollow one post until I realized how I could un follow it.

Under notification click on the post you want to unfollow it will give you two choices unfollow and turn off notifications

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I don't intend this to be an "I hate FB", "I'm too busy for FB", "I'm superior to FB", "why would anyone ever do FB" thread, but I do have a peeve I don't "get."

If there is someone whose posts I don't want to see but I don't want to Unfriend them, I can stop Following them and their posts will no longer appear in my Feed. BUT - even when I also turn off Notifications, the notifications for their posts still appear in my Notifications.

I have Unfollowed them, and Notifications for their posts are turned off/UNchecked, but FB still puts the notifications for that person on my FB page. And of course, the reason I did all that in the first place is because I don't want to know what they're doing. Now I don't see what they posted, but I still get a "she posted" message. Um...FB? I don't care! Aargh....

check your settings, i have many people on "hide notifications" and don't get any stuff about their posts.

I never look at my notifications.

I too find them easy to ignore. What irks me is that one you post a comment on Q's host's blog or Facebook page, they'll haunt you forever with obnoxious selfies.

Sometimes I'll read a post and wonder "why?". For instance a post that thanks a family member for putting on a family dinner, how delicious and how fun it all was. They didn't thank them in person? Most likely they did which begs the question why the need to post it? Odd. If my great grandmother, in her day, was thanking someone would she have sent out cards to all of her friends and other family or everyone in town and abroad to express that thanks? It's funny when you think about it.

This is similar to the love expressions. They don't say it in person? If they do, it isn't enough? Is love not shared less valid? Sharing means more? Worse, the "share this if you love your _____" -- sometimes I just smh and wonder if people actually talk to one another anymore.

I like FB to keep up with everyone I care about but every now and then it makes me wonder if people need something from outlying relationships that they're otherwise missing. Simple attention? It genuinely puzzles me. I've blocked when therre's too much of it. The notifications are easy for me to check or ignore.
