Jordan Miller Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hey team, I was thinking this could be a cool feature and wanted to hear your thoughts: On Twitter and some other social media accounts, often times they guide you to "follow" a few niche topics upon signing up. This way your timeline is populated with some content you might like right from the get. It could be cool to implement either a page or something similar upon registering to a community. I think our Activity Stream feature is incredible, and I want more people to begin using it on the regular (versus my community's homepage which is curated news content that is the same for all - I'd love if each member had a homepage that was specific to them!). My thought is if they are forced to follow some suggested tags / forums / members to follow, they'd begin getting used to the Activity Stream right away and it'd create a more tailored visiting experience. Also curious to hear if others have seen success with Activity Streams in their community. Love to hear some feedback!

Adriano Faria Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There's a marketplace resource that makes new members to follow any kind of content and members when the account is created. Content/Members are chosen by the admin on Admin CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano Faria Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The first one. It will make new members follow content/members when creating the account The second, very useful IMHO, allows the user to follow specific content posted by members instead of everything. So if John Doe wants to receive notifications when you post tutorials/articles in Pages, he only need to select it. So he won’t get notifications when you create a topic or a blog entry or a Downloads file, etc. Jordan Miller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have plans to update these for 4.6? I've been trying to hold off on getting any new apps/plugins until 4.6 but I'm kinda interested in trying it out anyway 😂 Appreciate you clarifying what each marketplace item does btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather, it's not possible to follow Tags with the auto follow app right? I'd be super curious to see how that'd function as well. If someone only wants to follow Justin Bieber for example, there'd be an option in the beginning to follow only him. I have a whole vision in my mind 😂 I should probably create a doc and pass it along and see what you think. I think Activity Streams are epic. I'd love to work on guiding more people to them in my community and in general! It'd also be cool to design them in a way that looks like my homepage (which uses SuperTopics).

No, because you can’t follow tags in the suite too. You can only follow content and members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh yea true true. I'd love to see an option to follow tags. I know on Instagram it's possible to follow hashtags, which is kind of cool cause it's all encompassing.
