The worst drawback of discussions is that there are no notifications yet (at least when I was using it the last time). For example, I couldn't know if someone replied in a discussion in which I left a comment, or maybe I didn't know how to receive such notifications. And there could be a choice of 'following' or 'unfollowing' a discussion.

Currently we have push notifications (from the app, on your mobile device) about upvotes and replies to posts that you created.

Next we'll be building email notifications about those same things. Which will be helpful to those users who don't use the app, of course.

Further ahead, we will be building the option to follow specific discussions, so you can be notified of upvotes and replies on any conversation. We will also be updating the onsite notifications (in global navigation) to include Discussions and fix other issues with that feature.
