Subscribing

Subscribing is a way to follow creators and stay informed about their content, even if you don't know them personally or aren't friends with them. Free subscriptions let you support creators and keep up with their work without the commitment of a friend request.

What is a Subscription?

A subscription is a way to follow a creator's content:

• Free Subscriptions: No cost - just a way to follow and support creators
• Stay Informed: Get notified about new content from creators you subscribe to
• Support Creators: Show your appreciation for their work
• No Personal Connection Required: You don't need to be friends to subscribe

Why Subscribe Instead of Friend?

Subscriptions are perfect when:

• You don't know the creator personally but enjoy their work
• You want to support creators whose content you appreciate
• You want to follow someone without the mutual connection of friendship
• You're interested in their content but don't want to exchange friend requests
• You want to stay updated on their blog posts and content

Subscriptions are one-way - you subscribe to them, but they don't need to subscribe back. It's a great way to follow creators you admire!

How to Subscribe

To subscribe to a creator:

1. Go to the creator's profile or blog
2. Look for the "Subscribe" button
3. Click "Subscribe" (or "Subscribe Free" if they offer paid tiers)
4. You'll be subscribed and will start receiving updates about their content

Some creators offer free subscriptions, while others may only offer paid tiers. You can always start with a free subscription if available.

What You Get with a Subscription

When you subscribe to a creator:

• You can see their subscriber-only content (if they post any)
• You'll receive notifications about their new blog posts
• Their content may appear in your feed
• You can comment on their subscriber-only content
• You're showing support for their work

Managing Your Subscriptions

You can manage your subscriptions:

• View All: See all creators you're subscribed to from your account settings
• Unsubscribe: Click "Unsubscribe" on a creator's profile to stop following them
• Notification Settings: Control how often you're notified about new content

Subscriptions vs. Friends

Subscriptions and friendships serve different purposes:

Subscriber-Only Content

Some creators post content that's only visible to subscribers:

• Creators can set blog posts to "Visible to Subscribers"
• Only active subscribers can see this content
• This includes both free and paid subscribers
• It's a way for creators to reward their subscribers

Unsubscribing

To unsubscribe from a creator:

1. Go to the creator's profile
2. Click "Unsubscribe" or "Manage Subscription"
3. Confirm that you want to unsubscribe

After unsubscribing:

• You'll stop receiving notifications about their content
• You won't be able to see subscriber-only content
• You can resubscribe at any time
