I don’t quite understand what followers do for designers right now. It’s a number that’s fun to look at and seeing individuals who follow is fine. if I reach out to random followers I feel that would be weird. I’m sure they will do something at some point like have a feed where you can see all of your followed designers newest model.
In Bambu Handy app you have a tab for the people you follow, and every time they upload new content, you get a notification

supposed to let those that follow keep tabs on what you’re releasing. Pretty much like social media.
Now if it works, dunno. Not much of a follower. Makes browsing less fun.

I use it if I see something I’d like to print, but my printer is already busy. I follow, so I can go to that persons models without going through a search should I happen to forget what it was I saw.
I’d like to see a 'save to favorite ’ option on prints.
The new “follow collections” has merit, it isn’t very well publicised though.
I use add my models to public collections and add a link to the respective collection in the description.
My Fidget Gyro & Spinner collection has around 20+ models in there, with a combined 20K+ downloads.
That collection has around 25 followers in there.
I get far more boosts per week than I have followers from that collection.

We need MakerWorld to add a “following” page to the web version of MW to see the latest models from our favorite creators. Right now, the only way to view this is in the mobile app.

This would be great! The handy app is okay but not my preferred method
I asked somewhere before for this. Was going to do feature request post but…I’m lazy!
