When you receive a reply to a comment, you get a notification. But when someone posts a comment on a top-level or discussion post you made, you get no notification. It would be nice if you could at least choose whether or not you’d be notified when someone posts a new comment on a top-level post you created, I usually stop checking mine after a week.
Current workaround: Google Reader and the RSS feeds of any post you wish to follow. I have a folder full of lesswrong feeds. (Most of them are obviously inactive so invisible.)
Currently the parent should have at least +6 extra upvotes going by that second link, possibly more, assuming the same people didn’t upvote both. (I rescinded my vote from before, and I am now upvoting this.)

Good request.

This issue was indirectly addressed before by Emile, and commented on specifically in a reply to the previous by jwhendy. But it’s probably an important enough usability problem to warrant its own top-level comment.
