Following people
What a follow does, who gets told, why it is not a connection request, and how to unfollow without anyone knowing.
If you are wondering whether following someone tells them, or what it changes, this is the page. Short answers: yes, and your feed.
It is a subscription, not a connection#
Following is one-directional. There is nothing to accept, nothing to approve, and no relationship created between the two accounts.
| Following on Revquix | |
|---|---|
| Needs their approval | No |
| Makes it mutual | No |
| Lets you message them | No |
| Tells them | Yes |
That third row is the one people assume wrongly. Following somebody does not open a channel to them. Messaging on Revquix only exists inside a booking - see messaging your mentor.
You cannot follow yourself, and accounts that are deleted or disabled cannot be followed.
What it changes#
The Following tab on the community feed shows posts from the people you follow, and nothing else. It is the only place a follow has an effect.
It does not change:
- What you see in For You, Trending or Latest.
- Anything about mentors, bookings or the marketplace. Following a mentor is not saving them, and does not affect their availability to you.
- Your own visibility. Following people does not make you more findable.
Where to follow from#
Anywhere a person appears: their profile, an author byline on a post, or a result in People search.
Your followers, and who you follow#
Your own counts are on your profile, and both are clickable - they open the full list, which you can search.
Your follower count is part of your public profile. Anyone looking at you sees the number.
Unfollowing#
Same control, pressed again. Nobody is told when you unfollow, and the person does not see it happen - only the number changes. There is no block here either; unfollowing simply stops their posts appearing in your Following tab.
