Action: Someone follows a tag

What currently happens after the action:

They're taken to their subscriptions page and see an alert that says "You are now following tag".

What to change and text to add/revise:

Add more text and links to the alert to suggest next steps. Ideally, the URLs would reflect the tag just followed, e.g., the link to the question editor includes the tag just followed as a pre-populated tag.

"You are now following foo! To join the conversation on this topic 💬, you could try asking a question about foo, or commenting on research notes about foo."

Action: Someone publishes a comment/answer on a question post

What currently happens after the action:

A green pop-up alert appears at the top right saying "Comment added!" The alert then disappears after about 10 seconds.

What to change and text to add/revise:

Add more text and links to the alert to thank the commenter and suggest next steps related to the same topic. If the original question post has more than one tag, maybe the tailored suggestions can use the first tag that isn't `general`? I'm not sure if they're just listed alphabetically and would then always call on tags that appear first in the alphabet.

Also, let the alert stay up so people have time to read it.

What currently happens after the action:

[I'm not totally sure what alert appears after someone publishes a question. Maybe look in the code to see?]

What to change and text to add/revise:

If there's an alert that appears after someone publishes a question post, add text and links to thank the poster and suggest a next step.
