[FEEDBACK] Follow
Introducing Follow on the HF中国镜像站 Hub
Probably the most requested feature ever: it's now possible to follow users on the Hub!
Your default home feed now aggregates the activity of everyone you follow in chronological order. To follow someone, use the follow button on their profile.
This will allow you to see their most recent public activity, such as pushing a new model, updating a dataset, creating a space, and any other activity.
Note that it's still possible to switch to your personal feed and see only your personal activity.
We think this feature will encourage more curiosity, collaboration, and fun among Hub users. And maybe even help you build new relationships along your ML journey.
Don't hesitate to share your feedback or any questions you might have :)
Hi,
Is there any way to follow orgs?
Now you can follow an organization :)

How about a badge for (org or personal account) followers count that we could add to a GitHub repo README and any other place we'd like ? Like there's "stargazers count", "pip install counts" and al.
@Aurelien-Morgan do you use https://shields.io/? or another type of badge?

For individual users:
https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhuggingface.host%2Fapi%2Fusers%2F<YOUR_USERNAME>%2Foverview&query=%24.numFollowers&logo=huggingface&label=followers
Example:
Not sure about orgs though, since the API doesn't show follower count. You can get a list of followers but shields.io doesn't support parsing that API.
@julien-c , https://shields.io/, yes. @mrfakename , thanks for the info. Didn't know. I'd love to have an org followers counter though. I have more follower on https://hf.co/retrain-pipelines than on my personal. And hope to boost that org account in the near future so, if I could advertise that number on github, it would look super cool.
In order for org follows on shields you would probably either need a proxy server to count the JSON or have HF add follower count to their organizations API

@mrfakename
thanks for the suggestion! We've updated the organization endpoint to return numFollowers
as well: https://huggingface.co/api/organizations/huggingface/overview
Here is how to get a badge for huggingface organization:

Looking forward to see these badges popping out in projects!
