What is the purpose of 'follow' in sololearn?

Question

I observed that few people are following just to get a follow in return and after that they are simply unfollow them.now my concern is whether sololearn became some social follow platform or is there any other purpose involved in it.

Answer 1

A lot of people here are posting interesting topics and codes. I’m following them to learn new tricks and read good codes. If you’re on ios, user posts are not available for now, but they will be.. soon.

Answer 2

Yes getting unfollowed after you followed them back is so immature on their part. I’ve seen such people here. One of the user has like 4k followers but no follows, its not like they have really great codes. Beware of such people.

Answer 3

In my opinion, unfollowing people after getting followed by them is a bad attitude. 😞 Sometimes, this type of person offends me

Answer 4

Yes, Sololearn is a community. Sololearn become social platform, Yes. Actually, there is not our harms if there are people unfollowed us. They'll be the one who wont see our code, even if its a good code.

Answer 5

According to me if someone has written good code. We should follow them. Because we can learn from the other followers. And we can create lot of new things.

Answer 6

The most important thing : Follow not because you wanted to be followed back, but follow because they are active, amazing codes or has helped you. Follow != Fooled

Answer 7

⚡️⚡️Pikachu⚡️⚡️ I agree with you😂

Answer 8

I'm Really slow at memorizing code methods so following and learning new methods in code is a plus to me. I have to retake my Programming class so any new technique is great.

Answer 9

I don't mind if a follower leaves comments that will help my coding skills either.

Answer 10

A couple of points about unfollowing:

- There's no follower limit, but there's a follow limit ( https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/1526940/?ref=app )

- There isn't a way of paring down the Activity Feed to see only your own posts/activity without unfollowing everyone (as far as I know)

So if people unfollow you, try not to take it too personally or invest much emotional energy into it. 🙂
