Following people, places, and content

There are several ways to start following a piece of content, a person, or a place in the community. Here you can find how to start and stop following items.

Starting following people, places, or pieces of content

To start following people, places, or pieces of content:

• Use people hover cards. From any stream you're reading, hover your mouse over a person's name or avatar, or the name of a place, and click Follow. You can then select the stream in which you want to follow the person or place.
• Use the Browse menus. Click People from the main navigation menu (may also be nested under the Browse button), or click Your Content or Your Places from the menu under your avatar, then browse for things to follow. You can also check the Recommended tab to see recommendations based on your individual activity and connections in the community. When you see an item you want to follow, click on its gear icon, and then Follow. Then select the stream in which you want to follow the content item, person, or place.
• Use the Search feature. Search for keywords of things that might interest you. When you find something you want to follow, click on the item. From there, click Actions > Follow. Then select the stream in which you want to follow the content item, person, or place.

Stopping following people, places, or pieces of content

To stop following something, do one of the following:

• Go to the item, then click Actions and clear the Following check box. You can also clear check boxes for the streams from which you want to stop following the person, place, or content item. You will no longer see updates for that person, place, or content item in those streams. Those updates can still appear in the Most Recent stream, however, because that stream shows all public activity in the community.
• Go to the stream and click the edit icon above the stream. From here, click next to the items in the left column that you want to remove from your stream.
