Add the "Invite followers" button back to studios!

I was confused by what you meant, because I already have this feature but then I remembered the terrible terrible studio update (my opinion, don't ask) that took away this feature for non-extension users. I don't know why they removed it. Support since I used to many followers too before I moved accounts and it was hard to invite followers to things before they released the toggle for the feature to come back for the extension I use. Still hard for you since you have almost 5k but it makes it way easier especially with people you have to invite with complex/long usernames like mine.

Hold on, THEY REMOVED IT?
Also, no, they don’t mean inviting all followers.

yes. they did. the only way to get it back, i think, is by downloading a scratch plugin. and i can't do that on a school computer.
This might be a duplicate, but support, back then I had a lot of followers and this was useful to add them then (but not if you can just add everything at once because that’s rejected). I kinda forgot everything about the new studio stuff soo (all I remembered is they put some limits or something).

That probably will not happen again due to the button causing so much spam for users.

Do you mean the follow all one, or the one inviting individual followers?

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.
i dont agree with Coolbe22 i need the add all followers button back

Wait I am confused. Wasn't this rejected? Or that is for one at a time kind of inviting. Not all of them?
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.

No, there was a button that said “Invite curators” and clicking it let you choose your followers, but that’s for inviting all of them.

Sorry, but the ST had their reasons to change the studios.

5.5 Increase the studio reply limit
The reply limit of 25 replies in studios was implemented to keep studio conversations open to the community and to improve website performance. Load times and server stresses tend to increase with larger reply limits, particularly due to the large number of Scratch users on the website. The number 25 was chosen as a practical one to mitigate these issues while also encouraging open conversation in studios.

The studio reply limit does not even apply to this suggestion. And the invite followers button that is rejected is different from the one being discussed as said above.

Invite all followers was another thing that used to exist, but as stated above, it was removed sometime in 2.0 and is rejected, as stated above.
Also, to see your follower/following count, you can just go onto your profile page, and check “Following”/“Followers”.

If you mean invite all followers, then the rejection reason was shown above. If you mean this feature, then I don't really know, but maybe the Scratch Team didn't want people to create studios just to invite followers (I don't know the exact reasoning).
