You can follow someone but you're never notified of any of their activity
You must manually visit each post of any user to actually follow only those topics.
Some persons I'd like to follow have posts going back many years.
It would be a monumental task to actually visit these Poll Contributors Posts.
Thanks.
Could this option please be activated instead of deactivated?
Someone keeps changing this to an Idea Post.
This is not an Idea.
If there is an option/function of "FOLLOW", why have it if it does "Nothing"
To "ME"!!!! This is a problem.
Could an IMDb staff member respond and explain why there is a follow function that's obviously "TURNED OFF"
Thanks!!!!!
May Paxton...

I have often wondered the same thing. I am glad I am not the only one.

I should probably start my own thread to make this point, but it would also be nice to have the ability to "mute" specific users on this forum. That's essentially the opposite of "following" a user. Both options should be added (and both should be rendered functional).

Hi K_PAXTON -
Can you confirm if this issue is still occurring?
If so, my understanding is that you are selecting to "Follow" another community member,
but you are not seeing any notifications when that member posts new threads or replies, is that correct?

Hi All -
Unfortunately, we currently don't support this following feature in the IMDb Community.
I have set this thread to "Idea" for staff visibility and so members of the community can continue to comment and vote on this feature request.

Hi @K_PAXTON & All -
My apologies for the delayed staff reply on this older thread, IMDb staff are working through a backlog to address any missed/outstanding issues.
I'm following up on this again with Sprinklr Admin to review this feature and confirm if there is a bug that needs to be fixed. As soon as I have an update on the status I will post the details here.

Hi @K_PAXTON & All -
I'm just following up here to confirm that the "Follow" option currently does not have any functionality. I am working with Sprinklr to either remove this option from displaying on IMDb community profile pages or enable functionality (this option seems unlikely at the moment).
