The content is great and I like the way tags are working. The latest update has greatly improved navigation and ease of use. One thing is I would like to be able to easily find who I am following. For example, a page just for those I'm following or if the search page put people I am following at the top .

Works well with inbuilt forums(eg. Dev.to, wasm builders, etc.), but adding forums by domains doesn't seem to work. The button to add the domain is disabled and no information regarding why it is disabled is given. Given it a 1 star because that's the main use case of this app and it doesn't work.
