User Following
User Following is now generally available!
It gives members an easy way to keep up with the people whose contributions matter most to them—whether that’s a trusted expert, an active peer, a moderator, or a product specialist.
Members can follow another user from their profile or User Card, then choose whether they’d like in-app and/or email notifications about that person’s discussions, comments, and events. It’s a more personal way to stay connected to valuable voices in your community, alongside existing Category and Tag Following options.
To enable or disable User Following:
- Access the Dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings > User Preferences.
- Locate Enable User Following and toggle it On or Off.
Additionally, admins can set the default notification preferences for new users in the Dashboard under Settings > Membership > User Preferences, then select Edit Default Notifications. Members can update their own preferences at any time from their profile.
