2 small things I just noticed in the Replies menu item I get when I click on my avatar:
title attribute for each a element for each entry in the list is “new post” even if it’s not a new post. (title is also not the tops, accessibility-wise).It really is a count of replies… the one you link to has 7 posts: 1 original and 6 replies.
That’s a freak coincidence, though. My post is from 10.59a on the 24th and @jimsafley’s reply is from 11.56a.
When I posted it, there were only 5 replies. 
Can you show me a screenshot of the count you’re talking about? I’m not sure I see the same widget.
Certainly!
Widget: 
Post/discussion page for “Starter sites to install . . .”, which was indicated as having 4 replies:
Totally possible I’m reading something wrong or being dense.
OK, I see. I actually don’t have that exact interface: mine never counts the replies like that, in the sense that I have no counts there at all… I don’t know if that relates to my settings or being an admin or what.
Are you watching a category, such that you get those notifications for every new post? I could certainly see it lazily treating the initial post as a “reply” in that situation.
I’m watching Themes and Omeka S, or at least those are the categories my profile → Preferences → Tracking shows me. The fine print:
You will automatically watch all topics in these categories. You will be notified of all new posts and topics, and a count of new posts will also appear next to the topic.
