Follow a post or stop its notifications

Following a post means you get notified about what happens next on it: new replies, ✋ Me too and shout-outs. You follow a post automatically when you take part, and you can turn it off at any time.

1. Open the post

   Open it from Home or a notification.

2. In the app, use the ⋯ menu

   Tap ⋯ and switch Notify me about replies (“New replies, Me too and shout-outs”) on or off.

3. On the website, use the post page

   Below the post, tap Stop notifications for this post. To hear about it again, tap Turn on notifications for this post.

When you follow a post automatically

• You reply to it.
• You react with ✋ Me too.
• You give it a shout-out.

Taking back your Me too or your shout-out doesn't stop the notifications. Turn them off with the steps above.

You always hear about your own posts. There's no follow switch for them.

Following without taking part

What you'll hear

People following a post get notified about new replies, and when the asker marks a reply This helped. When you stop, you'll see “You won't be notified about this post.”
