Getting Notifications of Discussions I'm not a part of
I'm not sure why, but if I'm following or friends with a person...I get at least one, if not three, notifications from the server about discussions I'm not involved with...nor have I liked or favored or followed.
See the Video attached to see what I'm talking about...
-
You are following "Alexey" - this is the reason you received notification when "Alexey" posted a comment.

I understand I'm following him but I'm not sure why I would want to get updates on discussions he's in that I'm not in...
That means that any time he responds to a discussion that I'm not a part of, I get a notification of his response that has nothing to do with me...
What is the purpose of follow anyway?
-
The purpose is to know what is doing the person you are following, if it isn't interesting for you, then you can unfollow him.
-
Is there anyway for me to turn the automatic follow off on my site?

There is no such setting, it can be done via code modification, but it's not recommended. If more people ask (more than 5) for this feature then we'll consider to add it.
