← view full thread · Feature suggestion: Followers only profile
[Removed]
What a shame. I just wanted to do this today and realized that there was no such option! It's probably 7 lines of code anyways.
1 line in the router function on accessing /user/
1 line in the router function on accessing /activity/
5 lines of making an internal API call to check if they're in the follower's list.[Removed]
It would be strange. The reason I choose AL over MAL was the community aspect of things. Maybe I'll try AniDB.
I don't believe the reasons it's not been added yet are for what was stated, probably more likely it's due to things such as the ownership change and the amount of urgent bugs to fix (such as the following feed) taking up much of the time of the fairly small dev team.
And in general it somehow feels like a fairly low priority feature addition, if they are planning on it, at least compared to other features planned...Oh by the way...
"followers only"? To that I say, the latter can't be revoked by the affected user
...You can actually remove people from your followers...~ Just block and unblock them and done.
I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, ownership was always murky. I don't even know how or where the money is flowing. Taking into account the $5 donator option being most popular with the 863 paid members, they should have $4315 of income per month. I'm no expert in the finances, but that barely pays for a full-time dev without taking into account hosting costs.
That is to say, they are probably tight on budget....You can actually remove people from your followers...~ Just block and unblock them and done.
I actually didn't know that, cool. I still think the point stands.
The devs (just 3 peeps) dont get paid, its volunteer based, they work normal jobs outside this and this is at the moment the least of their worries lmao. They might give this consideration in half a year- a year (or longer, I dunno) since their priorities rn are getting the site as bug free as it realistic can be again + after that they have several things I think they much rather implement then this.
