There are RSS links in user pages but they don't seem to be working (the magazine feeds do work).

User follow is my most desired feature at the moment for sure. My friends list on reddit's nsfw users is what I miss the most about reddit. 😣

Right now it's not really possible. I assume it will be a feature in the future, but for it's not a thing on lemmy. There is RSS links I believe on user pages but they seem to be finnicky.

This is a core lemmy enhancement. I don't believe this is currently on their radar. I will add it to ours and see what that would take. It might not be feasible to implement on our instance alone but if we can work it out I'll try to get it merged into lemmy.

Following as on creating a list of people to remember, sure, that would be cool, and if it's exportable, even better!

But turning the forum Lemmy into another social media wannabe clone, no thanks!
