What's "following" someone all about?

Sooooo.... sorry for hijacking your thread, Veg... but people are saying they get notifications when someone they follow posts. I've never had those! I only get it in the my news feed and that's all reactions as well as posts. Is that a phone feature or something? I use only laptop for the site and notifications are for threads I follow, not people I follow.

You will only get a notification (alert) when someone first follows you. There are no notifications when they post.

Ah, okay... thanks, Jazzy. (y) Posts and reactions listed in news feed. That's what I thought and glad I didn't miss something after all these years. 😁
 

I recently unfollowed everyone I was following because it didn't seem to have any effect on my experience here. Like, at all. But I get it now, after reading Kate's explanation. It would be kind of nice to see what like-minded people are posting... Although, I'm already having that experience on Reddit. Huh, maybe I'll re-follow the peeps I unfollowed. Or start fresh. Or... stop over thinking it. 🧐

What have I started 😲
 
How do I know someone is following me? I know there is at least one that is ignoring me, but that isn't a problem for me.

Just my opinion that if someone is following you, but never interacts with you, that would be stalking. If they interact, that would be a good thing.
 
Followers are the replacement of "Friends" on the old versions of XenForo software. The applied format here is that you follow what your friends are doing, so you see the people you're following and people that are following your updates and activity. It's a much simpler format that deals away with confirmation screens to confirm connections and allows for a user to add someone to their Follower list and keep up with what they're doing (via the News Feed for example).

For me personally, I take it as a complement that other members find my content valuable, entertaining, or informative. :)

Jazzy, you're my go to person on all matters on this site that confound be. I do find, as you suggested, your posts to be informative, valuable and entertaining. Plus more than that for me, I see a person who cares about others and is genuine in every way.
Now, might be a good time for me to hit the follow button on this Jazzy lady ❤️
Is that ok by you?
