I have never used the friend feature on Reddit even once in over 17 years. Surprising to me that anyone could characterize this as “Reddit’s best feature”.

After the "maintenance mode" announcement, I got to work seeing if I could add my personal favorite feature to the site: "following" users. Anywhere they comment or post, their name will light up. Read enough threads with friends in them and the site will feel much more like a conversation than an anonymous wall of text.
I've also made a small template repo that you can fork privately to maintain your own list.
I understand that because it's a CLI, not everyone will be able to use using this feature. But, if you've got any familiarity with the terminal, it should be very easy to run. I intentionally made it pretty self-contained. Happy to give pointers to anyone who isn't familiar though!
I didnt know about this feature. Never really interacted with friend lists on Reddit because the only people who added me on OG Digg were blog spammers.

Before AskHistorians codified the flair system and mass-removal for bad replies, I used to use the little 'Friend' tag to mean, 'This person has consistently provided high-quality, well-researched answers using current historical sources.' If I saw a little orange F, I'd know that the thread was at least worth reading.
It'll be good to use it on Tildes just to tag someone I've had a nice discussion with, or someone who's knowledgeable about something and has interesting things to say.
Cool to see extensions to Tildes like this! I know people were a bit gloom and doom with the maintenance mode announcement but I think its cool to see the community step up and continue...
Cool to see extensions to Tildes like this! I know people were a bit gloom and doom with the maintenance mode announcement but I think its cool to see the community step up and continue development in their own way that doesn't rely on Tildes to implement new functionality. I think it speaks to the modular/straightforward architecture/nature of the Tildes codebase that such functionality can be added.
