I looked into this a moment ago and it seems it’s not supported in Discourse. That’s a pity because some users just click on the nearest Reply button instead of the one at the bottom even though the comment is not directed towards the user. Fortunately I have disabled notifications but for others it could be annoying to be notified about a discussion that is not relevant.

The only thing , it seems, that you cannot turn off, are the green and blue coloured discs that appear on your avatar. I don’t find them obtrusive.
I’ve never allowed email notification.
If this is an issue, wouldn’t it be helpful if the buttons were labeled more fully, so the one said:
“Reply to poster”
and the other said
“Reply to topic”
But then we have the conspicuous absence of
“Reply to imposter”
???
I imagine that Discourse does not allow us to re-label the buttons…?
