When you follow someone, it means you’re interested in what they’re reading, watching or listening to. Following someone with similar tastes is one way to discover new items in the catalog you may want to borrow. If you’re familiar with X or Instagram, you already understand the idea of following someone.
When people you follow contribute to the catalog, you’ll get a notification in your newsfeed. Your newsfeed will show:
- items they added to their shelves,
- lists they created,
- comments and ratings they added to specific titles,
- lists or comments by others that they liked.
To follow someone
When you see a comment or list that you agree with or enjoy, do this:
- Log in to your account.
- Hover over the contributor’s username.
- In the popup that appears, click Follow.
Note: The number of people you follow, and the number who are following you, are shown on your profile page. To manage the people you follow, click the Following link on your profile page to see all of the people you currently follow.
