Can you please stop changing the layout/navigation?
Just when I'm comfortably used to the next iteration, and you change everything all over again. How do I get to the page listing all my favourited spaces now? I have to browse the Communities instead...
i don't need more stuff in my inbox, I just want to be able to scan through a Community/Space and if something looks interesting, readit and contribute if I can. Lithium makes this much more difficult than Yammer and has not provided me any compelling reasons to hang out for any significant period of time. I'm much less involved than I used to be for this exact reason.

Thank you for sharing, I am obviously sorry to see your not spending as much time in the community. What criteria are you using to identify 'interesting stuff'?
Is it:
- Discussions on a specific topic?
- Discussions on a specific product?
- Discussions you have previously engaged with?
Really looking to try to help address this but I need some hard information on what exactly it is we are not delivering so I can work with the team to identify how we might help you meet this.
Again I would like to re-iterate that we can not continue with the 'Follow' and My Home UI in the way it was working until now as it would have started to miss more and more content as the number of potential sources increased.
AllenI will typically go to Community Space for a Product/Service that I'm interested in an start skimming the questions. When I see one that I know something about, I'll answer it. I'll also go back to see the answers that other people have added to a conversation I have been part of.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we REALLY need some way to easily hide stuff that we have already read. It is tremendously tedious to scroll through the same posts over and over

Thanks for the extra context Dean_Gross, I am currently considering the feedback and will see how best to address it shortly.
re: being able to hide read content we have discovered the underlying platform makes doing that very difficult. We have been looking to see if we can add unanswered as a filter to the activity view, as soon as I have more to share on that ill let you know.
Allen, speaking as someone who is reasonably active in this community, I think this is a terribly retrograde step. It stops people who are active in a set of spaces quickly accessing those spaces. I don't care to receive any more email than I already get from the MTC. Go ahead if you must, but I can tell you now that this will stop me contributing to this community as I have done to date.

Allen it's simple, I log in once or twice a day and I want to see what's new, or follow up on any threads I've participated in.
Ideally, I would be happy to have a proper page that lists all the new posts in all the spaces I care about (NOT communities, as those can span a 20+ spaces and I can only care about a one or two of those). And only the spaces I care about. With a normal pagination of at least 10 items per page. Even better if I can filter for just new items since the last day, or my last visit.
The next best thing will be for me to be able to get to all the spaces I care about with a single click. Not to have to drill down in a dozen communities to expand a dozen more spaces.
The notification menu already takes care of the "conversations I started/participated in", I'm happy on that front.
Completely agree with this.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback, just like Ian Bruckner I will take some time to reflect on your comments and see if there is some really good or cool way we could give you all or some of the things you have outlined.
