Hi, is there a way to have a “my friends” group in my user profile? (not necessarily to follow them). Thank you.

You mean like a group or are you referring to the #follow plugin?

I am using the Follow plug-in. But my ask was more to mark some users as my friends (my relations) without following their content.

What behaviour would that trigger?

None. Like you can have bookmarks, I would like to have bookmarked friends.

I can’t think of anything that would serve that purpose, no.

You could create a listing in About me in your profile. [The image is a screenshot of a profile page from an email application. (Captioned by AI)] Use Hide details. Friends Profile - patrickemin - Discourse Meta Profile - ondrej - Discourse Meta Profile - HAWK - Discourse Meta These lists would need to be made manually. For profile links copy the link address of the profile avatar. https://meta.discourse.org/u/ondrej There is I believe a link method that should more display the usercard. But cannot recall it off hand.

You can always just make a list in your inbox using a pm to yourself and link to it with a custom sidebar link. If you list them as @mentions, you can easily click on them for actions without actually notifying them, since it’s your inbox and you are the only recipient of the message. I have an inbox notebook organized and indexed into sections with my checklist of tasks, all kinds of notes, blog updates and links, etc. I use a private Discourse instance like a personal organizer tool that pretty much does everything. I don’t know what your use case is, whether you want a private list for yourself, or a public list a la facebook style.

Yes thanks. Actually I could create a group. This came to my mind as I think there is no simpler solution.

Groups can work for sure. Though could be messy if wanting all users to have their own friends/family groups.
