Make GitLab More Social! Add 'follow a user' button.
Description
Currently one can follow a Gitlab user using subscribe button at the top-right corner of the screen (using atom) but following 20 users is not easy and an external atom reader is needed to check which activities (of those users) I have previously seen or which one I have not seen yet.
Proposal
- Add follow button on any profile you visit, can be clicked to follow and clicked again to unfollow
- On your profile page add new tab called “Followed Activity” which behaves the same as your activity feed and is populated with the activity of all users you follow.
- Rename Activity tab on your profile page to “Your Activity”
- Add user setting to indicate if you don't want anyone to follow you. If you select this setting, no users can follow you and any prior users following you will not have your updates show up in the "Followed Activity" tab.
