I also have this request, as I am developing a desktop app and have no great way to get push events for new followers. PubSub supports topics for new cheers and new subs, but not new follows.

I realize there is a webhook for new followers, but it is not helpful in this circumstance. I have no public server in my design, and creating one just to act as an intermediary between webhooks and a desktop app seems excessive.
