Veritula should have a 'Posts' tab next to the 'Discussions' tab, where people can browse the things people post on their profiles.

Also, did you know you can follow people? Click the bell icon when you visit someone’s profile.

I would like to follow you but I don't want my notifications full of bug fix stuff 😅

If there was more granularity to the follow function I would use it a lot I think.

If I mute a discussion, does that stop me from getting notifications from the people I follow, when they interact with that discussion?

Yes.

As a rule of thumb, specificity beats generality. For example, if you follow someone but mute a discussion, you won’t be notified of their posts in that discussion. But if you then subscribe to a specific thread in that muted discussion, you will get notifications for that thread.

There are exceptions. If you mute someone, you’ll never be notified of their actions, no matter how specific.
