Adding "Activity" Thread?

April 22, 2026

Unless people choose to officially "follow" a thread, there is no way for them to be able to read any updates or see who has posted what. On Surviving Antidepressants, they had a thread for "Activity" so that anyone could see the latest posts whether they "followed" anything or not. Do you think adding something like this would encourage members to engage more with other members? I would love to get peoples' thoughts on this. Thanks!

I don't really 'follow' anyone (other than you, I think), but I see everything in the forum. Or I think I do. Am I missing things?

Thanks for responding. I probably didn't explain this correctly. Unless we "follow" a particular person or thread, how will we know that that person (or another person) has responded? If we "follow" them, then we'll get a Notification letting us know there is a new post, but otherwise we won't. Does that make sense? I'm having a hard time thinking because my head hurts so badly lol. Here's the Activity thread from SA. You can see everyone's activity. https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/discover/
