Just a request: There should be an option to see topics made by the specific users I follow using the Follow Plug-in. This could make the homepage much more dynamic. Would that be possible anyhow?

I co-authored the plugin before it was eventually taken over by CDCK and there used to be a Following filter (alongside Latest etc.) but it was removed. I have no idea why and it didn’t make sense to me:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-follow/pull/30](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-follow/pull/30)

This was such an important feature I simply uninstalled it once the feature was removed.

Maybe there’s an easy way to restore it without having to change the plugin itself. I’ve not had the bandwidth to investigate.
