I just had the Idea of a page/widget showing the latest forum activities. It could for example show the following Information:
- User X liked User Ys post in "My topic"
- User X reacted with "any emoji" to User Ys post
- User X wrote in "My topic"
- User Y just registered
- User X now follows User Y
This widget could refresh every time when an activity happened.
I had this idea because even if there are no posts for a longer time there is still activity in form of upvotes for example. A widget like this could possibly encourage users to look for which post was upvoted and be part of the discussion.
I have no idea if and how that could be implemented but what do you think?
