Thanks! https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ is really helpful.

Just wondering… is there any way to access the wp-config.php file through the appearances -> editor or do i have to go to ftp?

ETA: Never mind, just figured it out.

Hmm… so apparently you can change the “friends,” “groups,” “members,” etc. slugs to be a different name, but I’m still not sure how to change the word “join” to something like “follow.”

Well you could replace
`
case “Who’s Online Avatars”:
return $translations->translate( “Who’s Online…” );
break;
`
for
`
case “Join Group”:
return $translations->translate( “Follow” );
break;
`
in the example in the link
but as join appears quite a lot of times in buddypress, in different combinations, it might be better just to add your own language file….

Thanks, I’ll look into it.
