Just checked on my phone, I don't see a follow option either. Seems to be an issue with the mobile site. For reference I'm using a Nexus 4 on 5.1.1 using both Chrome and Firefox
I've only used the site on mobile so I thought it was poor form that I could only follow a tag from within an individual post that carried the tag. I searched for some interests of mine to get a start on following topics I enjoy since I don't yet know which individuals are good to follow, but the search results didn't include a follow link. It is a bit of a hassle to have to open up an individual post from each topic I want to subscribe to when I'm trying to add five or six things in a flurry of brainstorming. Anyhow, it's good to know the desktop has the option to follow topics straight from the results page. It's encouraging to learn that this might just be an oversight in the mobile version instead of a deliberate design choice. I know we're supposed to follow people here more than tags so I was afraid it was an intentional handicap in an attempt to push people more towards following each other. I don't mind following people, but I need a way to find the ones who share common interests.
We shall fix it! insomniasexx has promised a fix tomorrow. Damn. You work fast insom.
