    I saw this from bbPress sites. Even if your theme doesn’t link /reply/ anywhere Google will still find it sometimes from your sitemap.xml

    There is no fix after many years, but you can noindex using Nginx:

    location ~ ^(.*)/reply/$ {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
            set $robots "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";
    }
