I think this is something worth thinking about. What if following was anonymous, unless the person following has posts that have been shared by the person being followed? That way, if two users find that they like the other's posts, they can be made aware of the fact in the event that they'd like to follow each other?

So, like if I chose to follow you, you wouldn't know until you'd shared something that I posted, or maybe a set number of things that I'd posted.

Does that make any sense?
