Hello,
On Xenforo it is possible to follow users, however this dynamic is not very interactive and does not create real value for users.
Here are my suggestions to improve it:
- Notify users who follow us when a new discussion or a new comment is posted in a discussion
- Notify users who follow us when we get a new trophy (to congratulate or challenge us)
- Notify users who follow us when we have a birthday
- Notify users who follow us when we have created a discussion that has trended
I think including more notifications related to our network of followed users is key to stimulating user interaction and people's interest in making connections on our communities.
Currently following someone does not have an impact.
Thank you for your upvote and if you are interested in more suggestions from me, this is the list:
- Improve the trophy system and gamification of Xenforo
- Introduce a new profile page or Widget: "User Statistics"
There are 0 third party add-ons working with the "follow" functionality. Most of the times is neglected.
A lot of users asked why we had this functionality if is virtually useless.
Xenforo sends the lowest volume of notifications of any social platform, even LinkedIn sends more notification than Xenforo.
