ImaniWhen viewing the profile of someone you're already following, which button combination would you prefer and why? Please boost this post so we can maximize feedback!
Option A is what we've implemented so far, and it remains unchanged from the previous versions. Options B and C have some tradeoffs – is unfollowing more important as an immediate action, or would you be satisfied with it being delegated to the overflow menu?
| A: Unfollow as primary, notifications as secondary | |
| B: Mention as primary, notifications as secondary | |
| C: Mention as primary, unfollow as secondary | |
| D: Something else |

Katzentratschen@imanijoy Would there be a "You follow" / "Follows you" / "You follow each other" badge for each option or for some options? If there is such a badge, I'd definitely prefer option B. But if there isn't, I'd stick with A.
@imanijoy (Although I don't use 🔔 notifications a lot, it's IMHO an important feature for official accounts, e.g. your hometown, NGOs, brands. They usually encourage their followers to use it.)
@katzentratschen yes, assume all of these options would be in combination with the 'Follows you' indicator.
@imanijoy Ha! 🤩 Just thought about a different approach:
Option D
How about changing the wording of the button to "Follow" / "Follow request" / "You follow" / "Follows you" / "You follow each other". And 🔔 (= Enable notifications) next to it?
If you'd change the wording of the button, there is no need for an additional indicator. And at least in German "Ihr folgt einander" is shorter than "You follow each other". Maybe there's even some space left for another button: "@ Private mention".
@imanijoy (I'm not very fond of looking at a big, fat "Unfollow" button every time I browse a profile page of one of my peeps. Or looking at a looooong list of "Unfollow" buttons in search results. I like following them! Feels like sticking a "Divorce" post-it note on my husband's forehead.)
