Help with Facebook post notifications

When I read an interesting post and click on "Turn on notifications for this post" I don't get any notifications (by this I mean in the bell icon).
I've gone to settings/notifications and turned on everything but this hasn't worked. It's the same on Android and on desktop. I've tried deleting/reinstalling the app but this didn't work.
I still get some notifications e.g. memories, a friend sharing a post.
Can anyone help?

If you comment on a post, post notifications will automatically be turned on. If you turn on notifications for a post, you'll get notified whenever someone comments on the post. You won't get notified when someone replies to a comment.So in other words:... I'm a post! <-- if somebody replies to this you get a notification.......I'm a reply to the first post <-- you'd get notification of this as it is a reply to the first post..........I'm a reply to a reply <-- you wouldn't get a notification of this.............I'm a reply to a reply to a reply <-- you wouldn't ge a notification of this.......I'm a 2nd reply to the first post <-- you'd get notification of this.Basically: If somebody replies to anything other than the original post, you don't get notified.1

Thanks for the replies. The problem though is that I'm not getting notifications for the replies to a post. As an example, I clicked "turn on notifications for this post" to a post on a popular group at 21:40 and there have been several replies (and replies to replies and replies to replies to replies) since but I've had no notifications at all. As I said, I turned on everything I could find so in theory I should be getting push notifications, email notifications, and SMS notifications. But, nada.

Some people just type F (short for following perhaps?) as a comment ... does that then notify you?
