It's a step in the right direction, but it shouldn't be favorites. It should be lists like what twitter does. Then you could create lists of users you want to check out like:
- Friends
- Family
- Nerds
- Rifleman
- Stackers
- Spammers
- Curation1
- Curation2
- Politics
- Vloggers
- Crypto
Then you could also generate notifications based on these lists and have like a number bubble for how many new posts there are to read.
That s a good idea for a future development indeed !
