    When I joined I was like why am I following these sixteen random people?

    Could you explain?

      I believe the system automatically sets you to follow the most active posters in order to give you a feel about how things should be going. You are then free to unfollow them and choose your own people to keep an eye on.

      From what I understand, though it's not a practice I'm used to, when the site wasn't very big, people would just check their follow feed (the house icon on the top right) and read what everyone around was posting on there first. Now it would probably be more difficult to operate that way, I'd think.

        Ok. It does seem like a nice system, but I would have preferred being told that they did it. I want to choose who or what I follow on my own. But when I u followed all of the ones I got defaulted to, there was a message on the "following" screen that made it look like the default was not following anyone.

      To be honest I'm also posting in the reddit alternatives thread. All the new users coming from me are automatically subscribed to /t/dota2 and set to follow me. I'll be able to convert them all! Bwahaha.

        Like the DOTA 2 Reborn update wasn't enough to convert people! Hahaha.

    So that's how you've been levelling up so fast. Did you gain like 500+ followers in a day ?

      Rockstar diamond is at 1000 followers. Now I'm at 1170, apparently.
