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.

      That is a good point. I think given how personal microblogging can get, it is wise to be mindful of who you let monitor you, even when it is public.

      Also, it is a way to really connect with people who took an interest in you, it is an invitation.
