I need this too. Ok, my idea is to create an category. Example "Linux". Now i follow some people, example @[email protected] And then all Posts will show in my category. Please add this.
@[email protected] the reason why I'm hesitant about this is because allowing a category to follow a user bakes in the assumption that everything the user posts is relevant.
If you're following something like the linux foundation that's a pretty safe bet for a Linux category, but what if you follow a user and they start sharing or posting about unrelated things, like what they had for breakfast, etc.?
That's where things could get messy.
But, I absolutely love :heart: the idea of creating a category and making it sort of like a curated channel based around one idea.
This is the kind of cool stuff I want to see!
@[email protected]
Perhaps as a compromise, you shouldn't follow a user, but instead follow hashtags that match the topic of the category.
