What does "follow member" actually do? What's the experience afterwards?

Is there documentation for this anywhere? 

What’s will happen if I decide to follow someone? Do I get emails about their posts? Do they show up in a feed somewhere?

    Hey @DannyPancratz - at the moment, the follow member functionality simply acts as a kind of ‘bookmark’ for another member’s profile, so you can go and check out their latest activity there. There’s no impact on the content/notifications a user sees.

    In addition, it also impacts a setting in user profiles, where users can chose to only receive private messages from users who they follow.

      Thanks, @daniel.boon . Do you know if there are any future developments in the road map for a more active follow?

        @DannyPancratz there’s nothing planned for this at the moment. But if you’ve got some ideas in mind, definitely submit them :). I’d be curious to see what other customers think.

        Hi @daniel.boon, 
        I was also interested in this topic. Current functionality then seems like only add a bookmark to profile rather than actually following the content that a member would post; I was having the idea that there be a separate tab which allows us to see filtered topics only from the members we follow or something similar? It would have been the expectation by naming it as follow?

        Thanks & Best Regards,
        Yasas
