daily.dev lets you control which developers you want to hear from and which ones you do not.

These controls affect your experience across the app, including your **Following** feed,
notifications, and how much content from specific people appears in your daily.dev experience.

## Follow a user

Following a user tells daily.dev you want to see more from that developer.

When you follow someone, you can get:

- Their posts in your [Following feed](/following-feed/)
- Follow-related notifications, depending on your settings
- A cleaner signal for the types of developers and conversations you want to keep up with

Common places to follow someone:

- Their profile page
- Author cards on posts
- Search and discovery surfaces

## Unfollow a user

If a user is no longer relevant to your interests, you can unfollow them at any time.

Unfollowing stops that person from contributing to your Following feed and removes them from your
active follow list.

## Block a user

Blocking is a stronger preference than unfollowing.

Use blocking when you do not want content or interactions from a specific user to shape your
experience.

Blocking can help you:

- Remove a user from your content experience
- Reduce unwanted interactions
- Keep your feed focused on the people you want to hear from

## Where to manage these controls

User follow and block controls are available from user-facing surfaces such as profile actions and
content cards.

UI references:

- Follow state: `Follow` or `Following`
- Remove state: `Unfollow` or `Remove`
- Block action: user-level block controls in profile or content actions

## How this connects to other feed settings

Following or blocking users works alongside other personalization tools:

- [Following Feed](/following-feed/)
- [Blocking tags and sources](/blocking-tags-sources/)
- [Filtering content in your feed](/filtering-content-feed/)
- [Advanced filtering options](/advanced-filtering-options/)

Together, these settings let you tune both **what topics** you see and **whose content** you see.

## Notifications for followed people and sources

daily.dev also provides follow-based notification controls, including settings for:

- Sources you follow
- Users you follow
- Collections you follow
- Poll results and reminder-related updates

[Notification Settings and Preferences](/notification-settings-and-preferences/).
