I also don't get new thread notifications for followed users, can't see an option in the alert preferences for it either.

Always thought it was stupid that was never a feature. Felt like I was cyber stalking my favorite authors by checking on their new threads all the time, now I learn this was something that should have been happening?

I think it is the difference between the alerts and the news feed. You only get alerts for when you are quoted or when a thread you follow gets a reply. The news feed is where things the people you follow do stuff is found.

The problem with that is the news feed is so full of "[name] liked this post" that, for me at least, it's useless for seeing new thread posts.

I never knew new threads would show on the news feed, but on SB and SV following someone makes new threads pop up on the alerts as well.

Being notified by an alert of new threads by people you follow is something you can select when Watching a subforum, but not by default something that happens with just a follow.

I mean, I get the same issue with a lot of the threads that I have watched, they just don't get an alert for a new threadmark since there was an update some time ago (has been years now probably, I always have to go to "New Threadmarks" instead of just getting it into my alerts like on SB).
