Want to get notified when someone that you follow posts? Go to their profile and click the bell icon (🔔). Now whenever they post it'll show up in your notifications along with mentions, new followers, etc.

That way you never miss a post by your BFF (waves at @Jonobie).

@gairdeachas (runs to turn on the bells for @gairdeachas :D )
@gairdeachas Thank you! That's going to help!
@gairdeachas @Jonobie Is it possible to see if someone has clicked your bell?
@BSM @Jonobie Not to my knowledge but I haven't looked at the code to confirm.
@BSM @Jonobie Although note that only people who follow you can get notifications of when you post. So while I don't think you can know who is requesting notifications, if someone was they would be from the set of people who follow you.
