ok so evidently replies are back.

if you haven’t gotten them yet, try checking your blog settings and scroll down to replies: 

now they’ve added the “Everyone can reply” setting which wasn’t an option before.

the default setting is “those you follow and who have followed you for a week”.

once you’ve got replies, notes will change their look.

if someone replies to a post, it will look sort of like the messaging app when they do.

this is what i know about the return of replies so far. thank you
