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 approvalNo
Makes it mutualNo
Lets you message themNo
Tells themYes

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.
