I'm not against adding user-following, in fact I'd envisioned that we'd eventually add it way down the road. It'd just be a ton of work, and I have a backlog thats years-long, so its not anything I'll be taking on anytime soon.
And lemmy is primarily a link-aggregator first, with a focus on following communities, rather than a micro-blogging platform with a focus on following people.
