___

I’m not sure exactly how spez’s place used to handle it, but perhaps on lemmy, we could have posts from that user act like posts from a community??

Is this even a good idea?

    I was today years old when I learned that you could follow users on reddit… How did nobody ever talk about this?

    Anyway, I always vote yes for new optional features.

      There was a lot of discussion when it rolled out. I never liked it. It felt creepy and it enabled stalkers/trolls. For the longest time, the outrage was over the fact that you could not see your followers, let alone remove them…

      People act like reddit was only recently making dumb/unethical/self-serving/business /unpopular decisions, but it has a long history of repeatedly doing so.

      It didn’t seem to do much tbh, idk if posts or anything showed.

      I think a lemmy follow feature (with an option to turn it off) could be useful for a bunch of use cases. Not just ‘content creators’ a vocal group of people are wary of.
