Idk, personally on mastalab and on the web UI I have to turn off replies if I don't want to see them, otherwise they'll appear in the home timeline. I like to read them, but I would avoid users posting 3k chars replies, so I'd enforce the 1k limit for replies too. Anyway, once you are in a conversation is not a problem to just press CW for the other person.

@freemo @arteteco @absolutus @hashtaggrammar I'm typically on using the web client, both at home and at work. I have and use Mastalab, but it's more supplementary to the browser/web client.
On the web client, I don't see replies unless I'm tagged, even if I'm following both parties.
@Surasanji Thank you for confirming that, I thought so.
I think what arteco is seeing is a mistake i have seen others make and myself. that is, they mean to reply but accidentally post it as an original post. So when you read it you think you are reading a reply but if you click on the post you will see there is no earlier discussion chain.
Its just an anomaly.
@freemo @arteteco @absolutus @hashtaggrammar It's important to note I am also unable to confirm (Because I am too lazy tot check) that this is ALSO the case on Mastalab.
@arteteco
Are you sure? I have replies turned on in my home feed and on the web I have never once seen a reply that I wasnt tagged to.
What I do see (and what you may be thinking of) is original posts that tag a person but not done as a reply. Sometimes (often) people make mistakes and tag someone and write a response intended as a reply but didnt actually click the reply button. In which case it will show up. But generally if its a legitimate reply it shouldnt show up in your home unless you are tagger. At least on the webui, i cant speak for other apps.
