@noizeburger I think I get what you mean. To show all members of type ‘fan’ in a “fan directory” you would do this

<?php

$fans = get_users( array( 'role' => 'fan' ,'fields'=>'ID') );
$fans = implode( ',', $fans );

if ( bp_has_members( '&include=' . $fans ) ) :
    while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
        // you can output whatever you like here such as member name, avatar, role and so on
        // we will output just member name for now
        echo bp_member_name();
    endwhile;

else:
    echo 'Sorry, no fans';
endif;
?>
