You have the option to hide read posts.
Yes, but you don't see new comments, plus this would be for posts and comments. If you just hide a comment, you don't see new replies. Marking as read is useful.
Well, I've turned on that feature as a test (after the question was posted) and I saw your reply just fine. That's no difference from how it's been before I turned on the feature.
What has never worked for me (I'm not sure if it's a bug or by design) is a notification for a reply to your reply. I only ever see notifications of direct replies, not indirect ones.
In other words, if someone replies directly to me, I know about it, but if someone replies to that reply, I don't.
Definitely by design. I do not want to receive a geometrically increasing number of notifications as a comment chain expands underneath my comment.
On reddit (maybe it was the Enhancement Suite) IIRC is an option to Watch a thread, which basically does what you want
