What I seem to end up doing is opening a tab for all the posts that look likely to spawn interesting conversation, and then every so often going back through them and reloading them and reading whatever's new and closing them if they seem to have stagnated.
This is part of why the short timescale of conversations on LJ annoys me; I tend to go back and check things two or three days later, and often by then if there was any conversation I'd like to reply to, it's "too late".
On the other hand, the "track this" thingy that tiger_spot is suggesting doesn't work that well for me either, because I like being able to read the new comments in branch-related chunks rather than one-at-a-time, and with the tracking it seems that I keep reading them as they come in. (Maybe there's a better way to do that, though.)

Actually, perhaps the best way to do this, for me, is to use the feature that Mozilla apparently has to check pages to see if they've updated. (Though I don't know if that works with LJ well or not.) Shame that I don't actually like Mozilla very much.
