I've been playing here going on 3 years, but I don't understand something. What is the point of following players and being followed by them?
To get friends.Few people are very nice in Lichess
So are friends the same as followers? And what notifications do friends and followers get about you?
If there was no friend system there'd be no pointless friend box in the bottom right of the screen on a tablet which gets in the way when you click the backward/forward buttons.
It's ironic that someone named "risky" suggests getting friends online!
Not "suggesting".Just answered your question.
When you follow a player that player appears in your friend list when he is online. This way you can quickly go and spectate their games. It also allows you to check their ratings without searching for their name in the search bar and then go to their profile. It's just faster and very useful.
Besides you can see what that player posted in the forum or if they joined a group or who he started following directly in the homepage on the left.
