Hungry Onion now has a new feature that allows you to follow other users, list the latest topics involving them and receive notifications when they post.
When will you use this feature? Example:
- You find that users’ posts especially informative.
- The user doesn’t write very often, and you want to get notified when the user posts.
Features
- Profile
- “Follow” toggle in the user’s profile and user card.
- New profile tab (“Network”) listing:
- Users you’re following
- Users following you
- New profile statistics (listed on the profile and user card), toggled by a site setting:
- Number of users you’re following

- Notifications . Notifications for activity of users you follow are similar in structure to following a category:

- A user follows you

- Notifications include:
- An in-app notification
- An email, according to the user’s email settings
