“Friending” - I follow users I like
“Markets” - I follow users who create markets I’m interested in
“Feed” - I follow users who post or comment interesting things
“Trades” - I follow users who make interesting trades
“Vibes” - idk I just click the button sometimes on a whim
Other - say in comments?
I’m interested in how people tend to use the “follow” feature. Since you can only pick one, pick the one that you feel is the most common use case for you.
Would love to hear if I’ve missed anything major.

30% friending 70% trades (so I can see the vibes of traders I'm familiar with, with a quick glance at the positions of a market)
Other: to some extent it's all of the above. I was tempted to say Markets because that's one of the main ones. But I also sometimes follow people I give loans to. Not sure why. Maybe to make it easier to see how they're getting on with "my" money?
(In case anybody is interested...)
