Open Social users can now follow other users on the platform. This is similar to connecting on LinkedIn or other forms of social media. Users who follow others will be notified about their activity, such as posts and content they create. They'll also be able to review their followers/followed users, as way to keep close connections in one place.
Once this option is enabled, a new option will be displayed when hovering a user icon profile at the profile overview pop-up. The same "follow" option will be available directly on a profile page.
It is also possible to know who a user is following as well as who is following a given user, for example:
Img: Selected follower and following list.
On the image above, we can check that Ben Flórez is being followed by one person, but is not following anyone.
It is also possible to check the list of followers or followed users by clicking on the "1 follower" or "0 following".
Check this out on your own user profile on community talks, or by browsing other members of this platform!
