Can members browse a list of other members?

We've just started and one early user is asking if she can "get to know" the other users by at least seeing a list of who has joined.

As far as I can tell, members can only find each other by clicking the user name on a post or leader board to see one profile, but can't search or browse a list. Is that right?

      Hi,

      we currently only show the recently active users on the homepage (top right, under the homepage banner).

      As far as I know we do not offer a full list of users because there is a concern that it could be easily abused (e.g. to spam private messages to all users). But I will share this feedback with the product team, so that they know about this!

      About searching users:
      I actually would also like to be able to search for users via the search bar, here I see a stronger use case / advantage in general. Will discuss it as well and share feedback once I receive it.

      Cheers,

      Julian

      I know that our members (specifically our power users) would love this feature. They like to know who's on the community at all times. 🙂

        Since a list isn't an option, you might have luck with an "introduce yourself" topic in the community for newcomers to e-meet each other.

          @Julian Is there an idea for this so we can keep track of status? It’d be super useful to either have a member search page (list of members with profile field options to narrow down results) or have profiles show up in main search nav.

            I could have sworn that this was an idea...
