Can you please stop changing the layout/navigation?

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.

Allenif TonyRedmond leaves, that will be a huge loss to this community.
Thanks, I'd like to suggest that you loan some of the smart devs on the Yammer team to Lithium :) Yammer figured this out years ago and it is one of my favorite features of that app.
Hi,
so, if I am understanding it well, the "heart" has been removed or will be forever. This is sad, I think.
The "heart" was a quick way to reach the favourites spaces. I am visiting this community daily and mostly active in the Office International Spaces. But I have some other spaces favourited too and the "heart" allowed me to quickly change from one space to another. This was a great feature.
Now, I would have to navigate through the main pages, which makes a lot of clicks more. Additionally, the TechCommunity website is relatively slow for me in general, most of the pages take ~5 seconds to fully load.
I don't think, that subscriptions can replace the "heart" feature. This, as subscriptions are based on posts, but sometimes I want to know, what's new in my space in general. Yes, a workaround could be to add links to each space as browser favourites, but I would prefer to have it my profile. There is a "My bookmarks" feature in my profile. I did not use it yet and as far as I know, I can only bookmark posts. Maybe a suggestion is to be able to add spaces to the bookmark list.
Best,
Mourad
