Saving a hasMany relationship with JSONAPI

I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours now and it's driving me crazy!

I simply want to allow Users to follow other Users. My User model looks like this;

export default Model.extend({
    name: attr('string'),
    username: attr('string'),
    avatar: belongsTo('image'),
    usersFollowing: hasMany('user')
});

When I get to creating a follow, I've tried this;

this.get('session.currentUser').get('usersFollowing').pushObject(userToFollow);
this.get('session.currentUser').save();

But that sends down my entire usersFollowing array to the server. This won't be scalable. According to the JSONAPI spec, Ember Data should be making a POST request to the /users-following relationship link with just the data of the new follow.

Can anyone help with this? It seems like such a simple thing that I can't get to work
