Subscribing to someone is like following them. When they post something new, you get a notification, so you never miss the people you most want to hear from.
Where to find it: Go to the person's profile and click Subscribe near their picture.
Subscribe to a person
- Open their profile. You can find people on the People page or by searching.
- Click Subscribe.
- That's it. You'll get a notification each time they post.
To stop, open their profile again and click the button to unsubscribe. You can do this any time, and they are not told when you unsubscribe. The subscriber count on their profile goes down by one, and it never says who.
Subscribing is not the same as trust
Subscribing just sends you their new posts. It does not change your trust in them. To say you trust someone, you can vote on topics or uptrust them.
You can control how subscription alerts reach you in your notification settings.
