That doesn't make any difference, Martijn. I ''want'' to be subscribed to all the topics at my 3000 pages, I just don't want to get a notification for all them; I want to actively seek most of those at the watchlist in an opportunistic way.
A single thread is a single topic.
Sorry, I was referring to an encyclopedic topic (i.e. what's covered by an article), not a conversation topic. In this context, we editors call "the topic" or "the article's topic" to what's discussed about the article, which is covered by all the conversations at an article's Talk page, that corresponds to a Flow Board. And a Board (i.e. what I called a page above) can contain hundreds of threads.
In short, I want to see updates to all threads that happen at all my subscribed articles, but I only want to be notified from updates to talk pages at those articles that I really care for.
(...I've just realized this overloading of the word "topic" may be a problem. Something to take into account in future conversations between the community and development team).
