Most people are very easygoing about "following" others here -- this is actually one of the things that those of us who have "immigrated" from Goodreads find most appealing about BookLikes! It's also a great way of keeping track of posts and activities you might be interested in, because, yes, your dashboard feed really is where you'll see most of your friends' activities first (as well as getting a notification whenever someone has commented in a discussion you're following, either in a group or in the comments section of a post on which you've commented, too). In fact, you will see little OTHER than your own activities and that of people you're following on your dashboard.
If you're unsure whether someone would dislike the attention of being followed, track them down on GR (assuming you have a profile there as well) and PM them there to be on the safe side. Incidentally, there is an
"Everything BookLikes" group on GR where people exchange all sorts of tips and comments on BL, and where there is also a thread entitled
Your BookLikes names - Please post your name here, and there is also a corresponding
Who Were You on Goodreads? discussion here on BookLikes. (They're both pretty long at this point, but maybe still a worthwhile starting point in tracking people's IDs, because they're not necessarily the same in both places.)
