FOLLOW A MEMBER MARATHON!!!
We have all loved experimenting and posting in our feed since it launched! 
I have noticed that many members have been hesitant to join in & follow each other and fellow listeners. The feed is intended to be a place of sharing, connection building and encouragement. I follow many people whom I have never chatted with & for those of you who are comfortable with that, I want to invite you to join the..... drum roll please..........
Follow a Member Marathon!
What is the follow a member marathon?
A 1 week event in which we encourage members & listeners to follow each other! Specifically, if you look at your follow list and you see that you primarily follow listeners, go find 26 members to follow!
26 miles in a marathon & 26 members in the follow a member marathon!
How do you find people to follow?
- Forum
- Group supports
- My impact contact list
- Reposts on your feed
When does this start?
RIGHT NOW!
If you participate, please share the names of the 26 members you have followed in this thread! When you post write -
"i am honored to now be following....and tag their names"
Once completed, you will earn the "Marathon Badge!"
Anyone, who goes above and beyond the marathon challenge (by listing 26 or more new ppl they are following), will be eligible to earn 1 cheer for every extra person they follow!
I can't wait to get on a desktop later and do some following. .. I know I am pretty new around here, but I have noticed some really amazing people around 7 Cups! :)
if you can open a browser on your phone you can follow people from the site - it's sometimes awkward at mobile scale but can be used that way now as a workaround...
Keep up the great work everyone!

I think most of them are listeners. So I want to make a proper list for members too. I am becoming more and more excited about this feed feature and how it connects us all so beautifully!
I have a suggestion tho. When you are seeing someone's feed and a certain post have been reposted many times, and also has many comments, could you guys do something about how it is shown? I think it looks pretty bad right now as those comments could be collapsed somehow so that the focus remains the post itself not who reposted it, how many times, etc.
Not sure if this is the right post to put this at.
we agree... a collapsed repost list is on the roadmap...
Awesome news! Yay :D
@cristiana33, thank you so much for the follow! As Krink mentioned, a collapsible repost menu is in the works, we think alike, I'd mentioned this as well.
It's an honor to have you following me. (:
i would like to thank every one on this site ,as it takes every one to make it what it is ,even the people that we don't get on with ,brings something to the site , hugs you all it really feels like home
Proud to be following :

Now following:
Members I Follow that I am happy to have on my feed:
Sorry, that's not how it appeared in the texting box. How am I the only one who managed to do that so far? haha
let me know when you figure it out!
@AffyAvo, thank you for including me, lovely! You're great! And I personally love following your feed ^^
*hugs*
And don't worry - all the time I make mistakes with formatting or with spelling in my posts and it pains me that I cannot fix them. Oh well, life is full of mistakes and we need to learn to live with them ^^
i tried to help but there is something really funny going on with that html!
It kind of looks cool!
And nice job! :)
