Hello scratchers / ST. There was recently an update to the studio system and it looks amazing, but there is one problem. I can only invite curators by username now. I used to be able to click the “Invite followers” button and easily invite my followers to a studio, but now have to invite them one by one by username, which takes forever! (Especially considering I have over 4,800+ followers) Again the new studio update was great, but please consider adding the “Invite followers” button back to studios. Thanks and stay cool! -Coolbe22

EDIT: I agree with not having an “Invite ALL followers button”, but having the “Invite followers button” is very useful. It makes inviting people WAY easier. I use it to invite followers to my fanclub, notify followers of new projects, and lots of other small things. If someone is following you, they should want to see your content. There is a “What's happening” in the front page, but it is VERY small and if your following lots of people it doesn't really help.

Studios aren't meant as a way to notify all your followers about something. This is actually one of the few changes in the update I agree with.

As well as that, Comment threads can only be up to 25 replies long (Which kills RPGs) Studios can not have more than 40 managers (bad for really huge studios/chatrooms) and Managers can not edit the title, thumbnail, or descriptions of studios (which basically makes their role pointless.)

If you mean the invite followers bar at the bottom of the screen then someone already suggested it
If you mean a button to invite all of your followers then:

5.2 “Invite all followers” button for studios
This feature existed in Scratch 2.0, but it was an extremely easy way for one user to create lots of notification spam for other users, most of which was unwanted. By removing this feature, users are forced to work a little bit to invite a large number of users.

Support! When you follow somebody, it's (usually) for the purpose of wanting to know what they're up to, or because you like their projects. You should be able to invite your followers to studios because they've expressed an interest in what you've been creating. Studios are used or collabs, inviting people to maps, or inviting people to contests. They're not just for updates.

It also helps encourage Scratchers to only follow people they actually want to hear from. If you keep getting excessive studio invites from a person, you can just unfollow them.

I don't generally invite followers to my themed studios, and I don't have any studios made for my followers, and I don't really consider inviting my followers for no reason, so I have actually never used this feature before, simply put, the themed studios are the least affected by this as people usually ask to join, so that could be why Scratch didn't add it for the new update, the themed studios are one of the encouraged kinds of studios, and possibly what they were made for.

Also, Scratch said:

First, we hear you that the comment limit has made it difficult for text-based roleplayers to have long and drawn out conversations. The original, and current, intention of studios was for them to be a space where Scratchers can comment and collaborate on projects that share a common theme. We are aware that many people have used studios for a variety of purposes other than sharing and collaborating on projects, and that text-based roleplaying is one of those things. That’s always been okay so long as the activities follow the Community Guidelines. However, we can’t make decisions about Scratch features based on how they will impact text-based roleplaying. The changes to comment thread limits are meant to make studios of all themes have conversations involving all members of the studios stay near the top of studios, and that’s unfortunately at odds with the way text-based roleplayers use comment threads.

So I'm guessing they didn't add the followers bar to the new studio pages for a similar reason.

I Agree

Hi everyone! I'm writing this topic for ask to restore “Followers” bar in the Curators tab in the galleries. I think ST removed this without reason, but I think that “Followers” bar is a good feature for Scratch website. Thanks!

No support, before the Great Studio Update, they never showed the curator's followers. Also, if they did, the numbers would take up too much space and annoying.
