Activity Feed with acts_as_follower instead of Friends

Question

I have this set up in my ActivitiesController:

class ActivitiesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    following_ids = current_member.following_members.map(&:id)
    @activities = Activity.where("member_id in (?)", following_ids.push(current_member.id)).order("created_at desc")
  end
end

This set up in my FollowsController:

def create
    @member = Member.find_by_user_name(params[:member_id])
    @follow_member = current_member.follow(@member)
    if @follow_member
        current_member.create_activity(@follow_member, 'followed')
        respond_to do |format|
          format.html { redirect_to @member }
          format.js 
        end
    end 
end

And this set up to display the activity of following another member:

<div>
    <span class="status_name">
        <%= link_to activity.member.user_name, profile_path(activity.member) %>
    </span> 
    <span>
        is now following <%= link_to activity.targetable.following_member.user_name, "#" %>
    </span> 
    <span class="meta">
        <%= time_ago_in_words(activity.targetable.created_at) %> 
    </span>
</div>

<div class="act_content">
    <%= follow_profile_link activity.targetable.following_member %>
</div>

I was able to get the following action to create a new activity item in the feed just fine but I can't figure out how to call to the member who's being followed. I get this error:

undefined method `following_members'

I can't figure out what I need to do or what specifically to call to make this work. Any ideas?
