  • You can now see when you have a new Follower in Notifications.
  • After you comment on someone’s post you will no longer receive notifications when someone who is not the poster comments on the post. You will only get a notification if the original poster makes a comment.
  • A new post can only be made about every 5 minutes to prevent multiple posts from the same person appearing in a row. This time constraint doesn’t affect commenting.
  • Added “Users Aged 12 and Under”, updated “By Gamers, About Games”, and made other changes to the Miiverse Code of Conduct.
  • Nintendo wants you to stay on topic in communities and refrain from making posts asking for friend requests or asking people to Yeah your posts.
