Followers List (What's Happening?)

Most scratchers are following dozens, some are following hundreds of scratchers. On the home page, you get five rectangles under What's Happening? Each rectangle has a piece of information on what someone you're following is doing. Five. That's it. You don't get and information from all the scratchers you're following, only five at the max. Wouldn't it be better if a whole page had a list of the activities? Next to What's Happening? would be a ‘more’ link. Clicking it would load a new page where all the activities would be. And if that wasn't enough, and ‘older’ link would load an older page. There, an ‘older’ or ‘newer’ link would show, and so on. Does anyone support? Tell me in this topic, and give me the pros and cons. Thank you!

Yeah. I looked, but couldn't find anything. Does that have anything to do with this: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/102868/
It does, and needs to be fixed. That belongs for a different topic though…

Support.
I think there is a workaround involving the site API, but I can't remember it.

I've heard of the workaround but forgot it too.

Personally, I think we need a whole page for managing followers. It could show all recent projects that we HAVEN'T seen, any recent activity or maybe even if they're online. I think this would be really helpful!

full support with this one, I only follow ~30-40 people and the what's happening page is already pretty useless.
maybe we could separate the full page; one for projects and one for ( name ) loved/favorited ( project ), but we already have a row for those in the front page.

I found the API workaround: here, you can see more or less messages by changing the number at the end of the URL, but more will take longer to load.

There is also this for a particular user, you will have to replace my usernme in the URL with the one you want to view.

I think there's an API page to give you as much as you want from the What's Happening. Wait, what's the link. Give me a sec, I'll look for it.

Edit: uh oh, there's not much known about it, for it's not documented here. I think I'll watch the network activity a bit, maybe it could give me some clues. I'll get back once I found something.

Edit2: Yay, found it! https://scratch.mit.edu/messages/ajax/friends-activity/?max=100 Modify the “100” to the number of activities you want to see.

Edit3: ARRRGH I got ninja'd! Oh well.

True, but that is a semi-old topic, and is on the 16th or 17th page of the suggestions forum.
