Why someone is suggested
Suggestions come from what you already have in common:
- Your network: people followed by people you follow.
- Your circles: people in the same circles as you.
- Around you: people in your area and nearby.
- Same interests: people who write about the same kinds of things.
People you already follow aren't suggested again.
Keeping yourself out of suggestions
Only people who leave Let neighbors find me on can be suggested. Turn it off if you'd rather not appear in suggestions or the people directory. Your public posts stay public either way. See “Let neighbors find me”.
For the full list of people, see Find people on Zinola.
