Followers... Following

Hi,
I find horrible that, even if topics has already been opened about, the team didn’t still do anything to add a button or something to more easily navigate the followers section.
A little ordering lasts/firsts would be sufficient to make it better.
Bambu is a great company, producing good and innovative machines, however, I’m sorry to say, it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to working on bugs and suggestions from their users.
No comments, no reactions… I would say… absents!

Truly horrible of them to not immediately implement a requested feature. Site is literally unusable! Imagine in what better world we could live they fixed that!

Oh, here he is, finally, the ironic little man who makes jokes instead of being constructive and maybe trying to think for a moment before commenting…
Maybe I’ll wait until you want to follow your followers when there are more than 200.
You’re absolutely right,
The world would be better, but also without so many people
who opens his mouth just to speak would be…

I have no interest being in a parasocial relationship with my followers. I follow who i want to follow and not just because they follow me but you do you.

Oh poor thing… okay now that you’ve had your say go to bed and take a nice nap.
(Oh, I forgot, I don’t really need to know what your interests are, what you do and why)

Dead internet theory: all your followers are bots anyhow :stuck_out_tongue:

R.I.P. :face_with_peeking_eye::rofl:

(Wow … They even check if the message is too short or long enough… A better way to say that size matters!!) :sweat_smile:

I think it could be useful/neat to sort followers. I sometimes check out my followers to see what sort of things they make. It can be kind of difficult though when a majority of them don’t have anything.

I’d say that’s all pretty low priority though. Like who knows what their roadmap for the site looks like, and what the priorities look like. There’s certainly a lot of things I’d want to see before I was concerned about being able to sort my followers.

Anyway, to call it horrible, or the other negative notions you’re suggesting, goes a bit far, and I don’t think you will illicit non-snarky responses talking like that. We’ve got them to implement a ton of user suggested features/updates. They don’t always happen right away, and we are still waiting on some, but it’s not as if nothing has been happening.

I brought up being able to search collections to them constantly for a few :stuck_out_tongue: and finally we got that implemented! Haha.

Until MakerWorld provides the long-teased extras to allow us the ability to communicate with willing followers and add things like polls, the following thing is currently limited to the followers doing the leg work and only then if they realise they must use the BH app to see anything.

Ahh yeah. I’m still dreaming of a blog like spot to announce updates and stuff.

I just started using Patreon for some of that stuff. You can have free members and add polls and communicate with followers that want to interact.

It is all new to me, but I am trying it out.

(One of my followers recommended it.)

I want to poll them on which style of Fidget Spinner I provide next or which food-based Magent Fidget gets my attention.

I have too many ideas to know which ones they want.

I have added a Patreon and I did not want any “free” members, it is annoying they force this.

I had a dozen requests for a Patreon a week, I created the account and very few signed up.

It takes all my energy to do what I do already, I want a single point of contact with people.

I can completely agree with this.

I am not the first demanding this features as I said in my post.
To implement a sorting button out of a database is a matter of 2 or 3 minutes of coding…

Saying horrible isn’t more offending that snarky answers .

Anyway thank you everybody.

I don’t need to sort. I gain one a month, I know all their names. Nearly all start with “user”.

Hey, guess what, I’ve requested features like this too. Specifically, I’ve made request and commented on/about a feature to be able to sort one’s followers for whatever reason. So… Shrug?

I guess the difference is, I don’t demand features. I respect the devs and kindly ask. I have no idea what’s on their plate, or their process, or their roadmap. I don’t assume things are just “2 or 3 minutes of coding…” as having spent most of my life in production environments, I realize the reality of things is rarely that simple.

It’s easy to arm-chair develop, but it’s a different matter to be in the deep end of actual development.

I rarely gained followers until the last three months.

I am trying to convert them into an army of believers that I can bend to my will and do my bidding.

Just one or two more features from MakerWorld and I am there.

Truly horrible. Worse than flooding or famine.

Nice backhanded compliment. Surely that will do the trick!

I picture you stomping your foot with a pouty face when you type this.

Don’t hate, just how you came across. Tissues in route.

Well you spent your time in a really bad manner if you don’t know how easy it would be.
