I'm sure this applies to most people.
When I watch a deviant / particular artist then I want to make sure to catch all their latest work. However as I watch so many groups the deviations notices of these deviants are lost amongst the groups notices.

It would be very nice to have two separate categories . . .

I use stacks, but I still feel this would be useful: When you watch a lot of groups, it's still easy to miss the user stacks that get mixed in. Even just a filter would be nice (Show all, show user, show group). That way there's an option, but it doesn't have to be a change for people that don't want to use it.

By the way, I do fave and comment on group submissions, and would continue to do so, this would just make it easier to ensure that I don't miss any individual users.

This would be really useful!

Enable stacks. You can just sort through the group sections to the users one. It's neither hard or time consuming.

It would be handy to have a section that separates the group submissions from the artists you're watching. The current deviation feed system is a little unorganized and chaotic, especially if you're following a lot of groups/artists.

Why not just use the stacks option? That way all from each group/deviant are in their own stack. This way it's more organized than a chaos jumble.

I actually would love this.

I like being organized, and the current style just isn't organized at all.

Exactly!

Too many people join groups just to submit their own stuff without looking at the content from other deviants as it is. This would just make it easier for them to submit and ignore.

Groups are a great way to find new deviants to watch based off mutual interests/mediums/whathaveyou. The key is to join groups with some quality control so you know what you get will be mostly worthwhile and not just a flood of crappy sketches from kids.

So be it. If that's their attitude then there isn't much that is going to change it.

The issue here is all about personal organisation of what we watch. Personally speaking being a member of a number of groups my deviation watch notification area is a mess and it's frustrating trying to find the artists I really want to follow. The only solution for me at the moment is to leave all groups, but the catch is I would miss out on new talent.

Why two watch sections?
1. I would check select artists every day
2. Group watches I would check on only every weekend.
