## Keyword Monitoring
Create a personal feed of stories or monitor mentions of your brand, projects, or topics you're interested in.
To set up monitoring of story titles and comment bodies, simply add a keyword via the ```/add``` command: ```/add python```
To monitor only story titles, use the ```-stories``` option: ```/add python -stories```
In addition, the `/set_score` command can be used to receive stories only if they meet a specified score threshold (set to 1 by default).
Keyword search is implemented via a case-insensitive containment test.
## Follow Users
Follow a user to get notified of new posts and/or comments.
Use the ```/follow``` command to receive notifications when a user posts a new story or comment: ```/follow hnuser123```
Use the ```-stories``` or ```-comments``` option to monitor only stories or comments: ```/follow hnuser123 -stories```
## Subscribe to a Thread
Receive an alert when a new comment appears in a thread.
Subscribe to a thread by ID: `/subscribe 34971530`
## Stories by Domain Names
Add domain names to receive alerts whenever new stories are submitted.
Add a domain name: `/watch example.com`
Stories are affected by the `/set_score` command.
## Comment Replies
Receive notifications when someone replies to one of your comments.
Add your username: `/notify hnuser123`
