Assuming your users can see each other’s profiles: Make a new boolean column on the profile called “Follow this user” or something similar. Make it user specific, and use a switch for the user to select “Follow” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/9a8e8f6c3be04fbc547106e59e2a85a503659999.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/053e7b4d56bd5672351df52c6a2e06cedf2c355c.png) To be able to see the list of people you follow, all you need is an inline list pointed at the profiles or user pages, and filter it like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/d/d8356b34fe556607ec7516c86900811e2c2eebf4.png) As far as seeing who is following you, I haven’t worked that out, but I don’t need to. I just wanted to be able to follow certain people, not see who was following me. ---

It Was pretty simple I created a following sheet with only two columns followers email and person who is following mail in glide i created a form( on my profiles tab) writing to that following sheet i created then i took the users mail and a column value with the email of the user he wants to follow so all the user does is click submit Then in my data editor i created a relation(not set to match multiple) relating thier mails to their profiles for the follower then a lookup value for the followers name and image then on the profiles sheet i add an inline list showing the following sheet and i filtered it that following mail is screen mail and bam it is done ---

Check out the solution here. You can either use the isFavorites column, or use a new user specific column, like @Tim_Sullivan shows. Either way should give you the same result without the need for a separate sheet.: > [@See following user's posts in feed](https://community.glideapps.com/t/see-following-users-posts-in-feed/12560/7): > > If you are using favorites for the people you are following, then I think you could create a template column with the value of email of the person who made the post and the value of “true”, in the posts sheet. In the profile sheet, make another template column that joins the profile user and the value from the isFavorite column. Create a relation column in the posts sheet that joins the template to the template in the profile sheet. Set a filter on the posts list to only show posts where the … ---

How do you notify users about new posts of people they follow? ---

Nice post. Could you do a screen shot for this: 1 then i took the users mail and a column value with the email of the user he wants to follow so all the user does is click submit 2 Then in my data editor i created a relation(not set to match multiple) relating thier mails to their profiles for the follower then a lookup value for the followers name and image Thank you. ---

> [@Tim\_Sullivan](#): > > To be able to see the list of people you follow, all you need is an inline list pointed at the profiles or user pages, and filter it like this: Did you you mean to put “FellowVendor is not empty”? My list of followers on the user’s profile page goes empty when that happens. But when I say “Follow-- is empty” the list appears. Have you figured out a work flow for finding users before a user is able to follow them? thx. ---

Nope, I wrote what I meant. I can’t speak to why you got the results you did, but I only wanted to follow those that were checked. As for figuring out a work flow: I wasn’t going to spend any time on it because I didn’t need it. ---

After you set up the column in data, how does the user check those users who he/she wishes to follow? thx. ---
