I understand how it works on the story side, but not the forums.

Can you see who is following you on the forum side? How do you do that?

When you go to your user control panel, there's one area you can check where when you scroll to the bottom, it will show the icons of who's following you.

Edit: click on your member name>click about>scroll to bottom, which will show whom you follow and who follows you.

When you say "control panel," are you talking about the forum side or the story side? On the forum side, there's my avatar, the DM envelope, the alert bell and a search magnifying glass. When I click on my avatar I see a "following" item, but no "followers."

Also, I see that I'm following about a dozen people. I'd forgotten about that. What's this supposed to by me? I don't get alerts when they post things.
 
You need to click on your avatar on the left of your last post and then click the avatar on the popup that appears, not on the menu bar at the top. This will bring up your profile page where you should see the word About. Click that and scroll down and you'll see users you're following and those that are following you.

It is a handy feature but it can make you feel slightly stalkerish, especially if your in that initial crushing hard on someone phase
 
Is there a way to remove users that follow you? There are people I have never interacted with following me

I am with you on this one. I would like to see an update that we need to approve for someone to follow us. And we should be able to remove them from following us.

All they have to do to get around such a feature is search for you in the search feature.

I just did that, all I got was a list of recent posts, none of them by anyone I've followed.

Well, that sounds like a bug. You can report it in Lit Tech Support (sub forum under Site News & Tech Support). I see posts from those I've followed.

BTW - How does one find out who their followers are?

Sure. But there are people here who have had conflict with others that borders on harassment. While they flirt with the line of being banned from the site, it would be really great for the people they deliberately bother to not have to see in their profile that they are a “follower” of theirs. Or even just exes, one wants to follow the other, but they’d really rather they not. They shouldn’t have to deal with that.

Click on your avatar on the top tool bar, and then click on the about section of your profile. They’ll be there at the bottom (see attached image).

*Note: the steps might be different if you’re using the modern view of the forum. I use the classic view.

When I'm in the forum side and click on the avatar in the top tool bar, it displays, top to bottom: News Feed, Your content, Account details, Password and security, Privacy, Preferences, Logout, ....and then, second column: Reactions received, Signature, Following, Ignoring. Does this mean I'm using the modern view?

Anyway, the only way I can get a list of followers is by doing stuff that ultimately lands me on the story side. And those followers are following my stories, not my posts.

Is anyone able to see who is following their posts in the forums? The stuff that shows up in one's Newsfeed?

Apparently I was mistaken. Whatever I did to get where I was did not show the same list as the story side. I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!

I really don't understand this. Anyone can read your posts, so if they're making it more efficient for themselves, what's the difference? In fact it takes a bit of work for you to even know they're doing it. ??????
