Indeed, and like issues and PRs, they are using the same pool of id#s. Indeed, discussion topics are Subscribe-able the way issues and PRs are. So yes, these really are just issues categorized under a different tab. But that doesn't solve the problem of having to poll the Discussions page for new topics/messages, Moreover, there doesn't even seem to be a "all new messages/topics since I last visited" to aid (even if only slightly) in that polling. There is a New button, but that just seems to be sorting option of discussions by their last message. Not really helpful in a "catch me up" manner. Most of this is material for feedback to GH on their Discussions feature though, and not anything the Avocado project can do anything about, unless they want to engage GH on feature enhancements to the Discussions feature. As a complete tangent, I wonder if there is a way to move items to and from Issues and Discussions. It's very easy to see how somebody can open an Issue when it's really a Discussion and where a Discussion can become an Issue that needs a PR to fix. > I'm getting notifications when someone comments on a > DIscussion, That you must be Subscribed to.

Agreed. As discussed with Cleber, having discussions in Issues (rather than being redirected to the ML) is an unfortunate splintering of the community where people on the ML miss out on the Issues (that are/and now that it's been enabled) Discussions.
