DevForum Following is now live!

Will it display the amount of users following someone? I think this could create some sort of presence for people when it comes to advertising/pushing their portfolios or work. Great Update!

You have been followed, dear lord. I will be sure to keep a close eye on your posts in future.

Truly an amazing update, I’m now able to keep up with users who I wouldn’t have been bothered to before.

The plugin supports viewing followers/following/statistics of others, but we have it disabled because we don’t want to create a competitive environment around follower counts, and also for privacy reasons.

I think it’s a nice feature, now i can know when someone like a musician doing commision posted! There could be a feature to select what kind of stuff will be notified, such as threads from Discussion, or Updates. And it could be nice to select what category you can select.

DevNetCheese, if you are reading this, im following you lol

Aside from some awkward scaling on mobile (follow button is larger than the message button), this is a pretty cool feature.

Did not consider the possibility of competition, I guess it’s for the best then!

Quick question: Do we get notified about people we’re following on the ‘Normal’ or ‘Muted’ notification levels? Does it bypass regular notification settings (e.g. only notify for likes if from a following)

Additional feature request: Can we get a way to follow all staff maybe?

I’ve already been using this feature before this announcement, and it’s pretty helpful when cool people (including Coefficients) make a post.

Is there any maximum amount of people you can follow?

Wow what an amazing update to have, actually kind of smart to have, that way you know which developers you can really rely on if they helped you the most. It will also be good to note that you shouldn’t ask people to follow you. I need to test this, let me go try it out.

(Edit) obviously followed you @coefficients

It shall be done, M’Lord.

Jokes aside, definitely a feature that was needed. But I have to express a sad yee haw over the lack of silent following.
