I recently made a mastodon account after deleting mine about six months ago. Joining Lemmy has made me curious about what I left behind.

Do you enable require follow requests?

I used to be pretty permissive, but the people I admired had that turned on. I turned it on for my new account the moment I thought to ask this question.

Are there upside or downsides to this? Please share any thoughts I want to know if it even matters.

    I have on my mastodon account, simply due to me wanting to be able to see whos interested in what I have to say. Its easy enough as well, you get a push and press yes, dont see a reason not to activate it. For Lemmy, no not yet, doesn’t really seem as relevant for some reason.

    It’s hard enough already to get followers and SEE content from people you follow. Making a request to follow someone makes it even worse in my opinion.
