That doesn't give you a notification when there's a new comment. I assume that's what op means by follow.
I don't think it's possible, at least if it is I don't know how either.

It does on Piefed. Not sure about Lemmy.

On Lemmy, the save function (star icon) does give a number beside the comment count icon. Like 4 comments (2 new). Still a manual check, though.
Also Lemmy's comment discovery (the chat sort method) is harder to follow with context, not as good as Kbin's unread highlighting was.

That's for Piefed not Lemmy. They're different.
