@perceptivemind I still don't fully understand what's the difference between follow and subscribe. Can you explain?

@gioypi
Easy -- the Subscribe feature will Allow you to :

* see any Public posts that user makes.
* NOT show any post with higher privacy level.
* So it's NOT invasive as some people argued when this came online.
* Allows you to see posts without connecting and notifying the user.

Sometimes useful, for people who have locked accounts, which require approval for Following. However -- they should know that PUBLIC means just that, and have no expectation of Privacy in anything sent Public.

Worth mentioning that these and other new features introduced in January 2020 have really nice Documentation -- produced by myself, modesty apart... 😉

See them here -- one feature per post. discourse.qoto.org/t/qoto-org-

Note to Self -- those are ready for a Blog post -- which would look pretty and document them well, spread the word. Add to clipboard notes...
