Unfollow directly from post

[DannyK.]

Right now, the way to unfollow a post is to go to My account -> My follows -> look for the post through the whole list (there isn't even a filter/search) -> select it -> Unfollow. This isn't intuitive at all. I had to search the community to find answers to people who had wondered about the same thing before me.

Good UI is in the context of its object. Just like I can sign up to follow a post when I reply to it, I should also be able to easily change my mind. There should be an option on the post itself to unfollow, without needing to find a list somewhere else. And it's a trivial addition - a single button on the post page (the code to unfollow obviously already exists). Thanks in advance!

When you say "go to My account -> My follows ->", does "go to My account" mean click my avatar in the upper right? When I do, the only choices are:

Manage Account

View community profile

Edit community profile

Help

Sign out

Where is "My follows"?

Thanks,
Russell

@rbanks88 

are you using a desktop (not mobile) browser?

[DannyK.]

@rbanks88 Yes, that's the place. You are right - they changed it. There used to be a "My Follows" entry here too, but it's gone. I don't even know how to get to that list now.

@kglad Chrome on a Windows laptop or desktop.

something just changed in the last day or so.  the "my follows" is no longer present for me, either.

[kglad]

i'm probing this.

The interface changed a couple of months ago without notice. Click your profile icon, then Edit Community profile. Wait a couple of minutes (!) for the page to load then navigate to the Following tab.
