The user in this screenshot is just an example. I’d love to be able to receive updates when my favourite users post. Also, this has been a great app to use, and I’m looking forward to future development!
There is absolutely no reason that a community based system should follow users. This is something reddit only did to try and get “influencers” and drive ad revenue. Not having any of that crap is what made reddit great in the first place.
That’s a bad take. There are some users that regularly write outstanding content or even just a series of posts that you don’t want to miss the next installment of. Examples on Reddit were /u/Gambatte in /r/TalesFromTechSupport and /u/SqwrlTail in /r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk
Just have them create their own magazine/community and post there.
Then you can subscribe to the Community/Magazine.
Easy Peasy… I think, I still don’t really understand this enough to speak 100% confidently, but from what I think I understand it should be.
They’re just basically subreddits right?
Exactly. I like seeing the same people around every so often, and I liked knowing when I updated the same person a lot (means I should probably trust what they say more).
However, I don’t want to follow any of those people specifically. So if we had anything close to that, it should be limited to the RES feature that tracks upvotes by user.
