You can use lesswrong.com/r/friends/ to only see your friends' submissions.

Also, they are listed in the Friends tab of your Preferences, so you can more quickly message them or check their userpage.

If I 'friend' you, is there any way for you to tell that I've done so?

Can others see whom I have friended?

Comment author: NihilCredo 28 January 2011 06:49:53AM 2 points [-]

No.

No.

I just friended you. Did you receive any indication of it?

Comment author: lukeprog 28 January 2011 05:13:40AM 3 points [-]

No I did not.

A useful feature, but a confusing use of the term 'friend.'

Indeed. You could subscribe to people as 'friends' purely because you consider them a bad influence and wish to be sure you see their comments, the better to refute and downvote them.

Keep your friends close...

In what way are you not describing friendship? ;-)

Hi mum.

http://lesswrong.com/prefs/friends/ does seem to have its moments.
