In GR you can look at someone's profile and see their comment activity. Well, as we know, there are no comments on Reviews here in LT. BUT there is Talk (that is, group activity) and that's the hub of friendships here.
Here is a way to likely see a large part (not all) of your friend's activity. This will give you topics that contain their name (topics they probably started, like reading logs, etc.) or topics where your friend was mentioned, often reflecting they had been engaged in that conversation.
P.S. Even quicker: Key in your friend's LT name in the little search box "Search LibraryThing," the one that is available on every page on the top right. That takes you to the same place as the link above. In this quicker case, though, the search will already be filled out and results given. Scroll down and click on "Talk."

That will give you posts in which the person was mentioned (or if their name is in the thread title).
It will not give you all that person's posts. That's intentional. Tim at one time proposed it, but people felt it would be too stalker-y.

>2 lilithcat: Thank you. I'll clarify that, that's it's a subset of Talk activity.

>2 lilithcat: I approve the anti-stalker-y stance. I've updated it now as per your helpful clarification. Thank you, Joan.
