    Hi, the official guide for this feature is as follows:

    • Members can follow/unfollow other members by:
      - Web:Clicking on the “Follow / Unfollow” button on the short profile and the profile page
      - App: Tapping on the “Follow / Unfollow” button on the profile page
    • When following a member, you receive a notification as soon as this member submits a new deal/voucher or discussion (no notification on feedback).
    • By default only the on-site notification is turned on, but users can manage these preferences and opt into the email notification via their notification settings on web, while also being able to opt into push notifications on the app.
    • A notification is only issued as soon as the thread is live on the site (no notification if it is on moderation)
    • A section in the settings let users see who they follow and allows them to unfollow them again quickly. Deleted users remain followed, and are appearing as such in the list.

    Can you please double-check that you have the notification option ticked for members you follow as has mentioned. It's on by default on Web (unless you have opted out), but you also need to opt in on the app.

    From time to time we see comments from people on here saying it was not what was shared but who shared it, referring to the voting. Doesn't allowing the option to follow people on here help this behaviour and make it easier for those who regularly communicate with each other on here to vote up each other's deal threads and get in early with the vote where they may not have without the notification.

    It would be giving those deal threads a good start and make them look good because they may be doing better than others around them and therefore someone else who just feels like joining and voting will then also vote them up.

    I may be overthinking that last part.

    Have you switched on the notifications? I don't think you can see who is following you.

    OK, so you only get notified if those you follow actually post a new deal?

    So NOT when they comment on things?

    HI, as shown on the images above, this feature is only available when someone you follow shares a new deal (if you have the notification enabled), rather than receiving a notification for every time they post a comment.
