Apparently all the “dismiss” button does is mark them as read.

Is there any way at all to fix that? I seem to have a choice between never having any notifications at all, in any form, about replies to posts I made or threads I posted to, and eventually having thousands and thousands of them all piled up and unremovable. If that’s really a required setting, that’s absurd.
