I am not sure if all devices display that notifivation button results the same way or not. I suspect that it might have it's own little glitches deep inside. Just like that darned kudo button in a way.

For me, ususally, the notify will bring me to where, in the discussion, is the last time I chose that post from the notify. In these long threads, it's trying to allow you to read posts that happened since you last vistited the discussion and resets that end point (must be kept somewhere in the Fandom files for this wiki as is the list of members that have applied a kudo),  Mostly this seems to be a good idea, but may seem misleading it you do not actually read or post another comment. The code is most probably trying to make informed assumptons.

While you are reading a discussion, you will not see any additional posts for that same discussion (probably freezed the disussion in a temp file), but if a new post is added, your notify button will highlight again. This is when I usually refresh the current page or leave the page to read from another page and return later.

I think the code is doing the best it can to try to find the best point (sweet spot) for each member. We, as end users, cannot change how this is displayed for ourselves. Also, if you do go to the bottom to comment, it does not mean that others will not have commented and published before you and when you return to the page or refresh the page, you might be surprised by posts that come between your new post and the spot where it seemed was the bottom. That is also why I do try to to clip (copy) posts on long, active, threads, refresh the page and paste my clipped post, so I can publish quickly.

This was a long and complicated answer. And it is not based on my having analyzed any code, but only my analysis of my empirical (view) of the situation after having posted many times. (and, my analytical experience is based on a long technical career, but not on this web site type proramming itelf. But, it would be where I would look if complaints were constant enough to reconsider how this might be done better). Personally, it seems to me that this has been done to enhance the most often wanted experience and I doubt that it would change.

Best I could do to try to explain the issue that I believe you were concerned about. - El
