In the comments plugin settings (gear icon) there's now a 'notify' command to enable notifications based on trigger words - BUT read this post for some caveats!

Currently notifications aren't supported on mobile, and also you won't get notifications if you don't have a perchance comments section open somewhere on your computer. It doesn't matter which comments section you have open (i.e. it can be on any generator/page, regardless of which particular comments boxes that you've subscribed to), but it needs to be visible somewhere.
Also, some browsers will "hibernate" a tab that is backgrounded/inactive which will pause the notification script, so it's best to pull the browser tab out into its own browser window so that the tab is deemed "active"/visible by your browser - that way it won't "hibernate" the tab.
So, with the above caveats, you now have a crude way to get notified if someone comments on your generators! Or when people are active at your favorite hang out spot, etc. The caveats are annoying, but it's the first step! Please give feedback if there are any issues - I may not be able to fix them, or at least may not be able to fix them right away, but it'll be helpful to hear about the most annoying issues so I can plan future improvements here.
