I searched but couldn’t find an answer to this specifically…
Is there a way to get a notification (email, desktop) for a specific user? I know you can suppress specific users…

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean? You want a notification every time a particular user posts? You’ll need to subscribe to the RSS feed on that user’s profile page then.
To subscribe to a user’s RSS feed, you will need a RSS reader.

Ah, I see. But that’s not as quick (and as native) as getting a desktop notification whenever a specific user posts or responds.
I did see this:

Discourse isn’t a social media engine, but a discussion tool, so the “follow a person” feature never really made sense to us.

And I agree with this perspective entirely… but there is a use-case, I believe, where there’s someone specific or a leader / moderator that you realize you trust a lot and you don’t want to miss anything they have to offer. I see this behavior in my own new forum where folks really want to follow a very specific person of interest.
Thanks!

Then visit that person’s profile page… which contains all their posts.

That’s what I’m recommending to the users who have asked! Perfecto.

How feasible would it be to “bookmark a user”? Basically a way to keep a list of the people I want to keep track of.

The easiest way I can think of is to create a message to yourself with posts containing links to their Profiles.

Revisiting this old issue… I think this feature would make sense as an administrative tool, not as a site-wide feature.
Some possible (non-social) use cases
All of these are based on actual experiences I had.
The unconfirmed spammer:
So I’ve seen this kind of spammer before, they do this one post, then a few days later come back and do a post with some SEO link. BUT I can’t be 100% sure this isn’t a legitimate user. So I would like to subscribe to his posts so I would be immediately notified when he posts again.
The trainee:
I have a new moderator I am training and I want to ask to see all his posts to help him out as he goes along.
The person I’ve just warned:
So, suppose I have to give one of my dear community members a harsh warning. Then I’m nervous and fidgeting, will he repeat his behavior? Will he lash out with a really nasty post? I need to stay on top of that…
Some possible details about the feature
These are just ideas, I’m not even sure if they’re good ones…
-
this could be an auto-subscribe feature: I’m an admin, I warn someone, then Discourse automatically notifies me “A person who was recently warned has posted”
-
this could be an auto-expire feature: I can subscribe to user’s posts for a week, or a month, but not indefinitely.

What about the Follow Plugin 👨? Looks like there are plans for a “stealth mode” that would solve the administrative need.
4 个赞
Definitely looks interesting, thanks. The yet-to-be-implemented Stealth mode would be a must, I won’t have much use for the plugin without it.
I guess I would really prefer a way to have this exclusively for admins, to keep turning my site into this “social” style like @codinghorror mentioned above…

Is there a way for users to discover the RSS feeds? Even just an auto-discovery link would be enough for people to find it with simple instructions: “go to a user profile page (any section) and paste the URL into your RSS reader”, maybe something like this:
<link
rel="alternate"
type="application/rss+xml"
title="{username} on {siteName}"
href="/users/{username}/activity.rss"
/>

…什么RSS订阅源？我注意到任何个人资料中都没有相关信息。

您好。感谢版主应我的请求重新开放此主题 
已经过去 5 年了，我觉得有必要重启对话，请注意，现在比以往任何时候都更重要。我觉得这个主题的内容仍然很有价值，所以让我们继续对话。
请查看我上面的帖子（我在这里回复的那个帖子），了解我详细说明的用例。
“疑似垃圾邮件发送者”这种情况是我每天都会遇到的，因为垃圾邮件发送者越来越聪明，能够应对 Discourse 不断发展的反垃圾邮件功能。所以现在他们通常以人类的方式参与，而不仅仅是机器人，并试图在社区中正常生活一段时间，然后再开始丢弃他们的 SEO 链接，通常是通过编辑帖子，而不是新帖子。
能够仅仅向 Discourse 信号：这个人看起来可疑，如果他做了任何事情，比如编辑自己的帖子添加链接，请告诉我。这将是多么放松。
即使暂时关注用户的想法太多了，我还是会提出另一个直接的功能：
如果任何用户编辑自己的帖子以添加链接，或更改其中现有的链接，此编辑将进入版主队列进行检查。
这可以是一个初步筛选（编辑在获得版主批准之前无效），或者只是一个警告（编辑已完成，但版主可以检查它，并以某种方式将其标记为已检查，这样其他版主就不会浪费时间了）。
但我仍然希望管理员能够普遍关注用户，因为还有我上面列出的其他用例。

您试过 Discourse Follow 了吗？
1 个赞
我还没有，这有点“惭愧”，因为在这个帖子里有人提到过我。问题是我不再是管理员了，只是那个社区的版主，而目前负责的人不习惯管理 Discourse，所以他们不太愿意尝试新插件。
我只会在插件允许将关注功能仅提供给管理员（而不是所有用户）的情况下使用它。这是为了避免“社交平台”的动态，我宁愿避免这种情况。
尽管如此，我认为有理由将类似的东西作为 Discourse 的核心部分。只需针对打击垃圾信息发送者的更基本功能。我知道团队（理所当然地）在该领域投入了大量精力，而这是每个社区都面临的核心问题。机器人越来越强大……

目前我们对抗垃圾邮件的主要投资是 Discourse AI 下的垃圾邮件模块。我建议尝试一下，但如果你无法安装任何插件，那将很困难。
