seems rather odd to not have this functionality in the first place, or is it just deliberately made that way?

    maybe you enjoy reading someone’s writing on r/writingprompts, maybe you want to get updated from a developer that discuss features on lemmy, maybe theres a horror youtuber that discusses dark mysteries and also mainly on reddit. maybe you want to follow your grandma’s reddit account to see what she’s up to. or maybe you’re just interested what this random anarchist/privacy advocate/conspiracy/hentai/meme/extrimist user is up to. maybe you want to be toxic and follow the people who has the same minority view and help them be toxic, then proceed to get banned afterwards. maybe you want to see what your friend is up to. maybe you want to follow someone’s blog, but they don’t have a comment section, so they use lemmy/reddit instead for people to discuss.

    idk man, who knows, maybe I’m wrong, well I don’t even use reddit because they banned me for discussing the fediverse there.
