This article covers how to follow and unfollow an individual on givestar, and what happens when you do.
givestar allows you to get closer to the causes you care about. This includes our Follow feature, which helps keep you connected to your favourite charities and other individuals.
On givestar, users are able to follow other accounts - either individuals (e.g. friends, colleagues, family and famous fundraisers), or charities. It is not possible to follow a fundraising page specifically, however, you can get the same effect by following individuals and charity accounts.
What happens when I follow either an individual or a charity account?
- The name of the individual or charity is added to your 'Following' list your account. This is accessed via the discover feed in the givestar app, or your Profile on givestar.io. You can use this list to quickly navigate to their profile page.
- Activity (e.g. Page created, or Page update posted) from the accounts you follow will be prioritised by givestar so they appear more regularly in your Discover Feed and Notification centre (coming soon).
