Following Feed

The Following feed at /following gives you a dedicated stream of content from the users, sources, and Squads you actively follow on daily.dev.

Unlike For You, which is recommendation-driven, Following is built from explicit choices you make across the product. It is useful when you want a feed that reflects the developers, publishers, and communities you already trust.

Where to find it​

When you are signed in, open the main sidebar and select Following.

UI reference:

  • Sidebar item: Following
  • Route: /following

What appears in the Following feed​

Your Following feed can include:

  • New posts from sources you follow
  • New posts from users you follow
  • New posts from Squads you joined or follow

The feed is personalized from your follow graph, so it becomes more useful as you follow more relevant people and sources.

How to improve the feed​

The quality of the Following feed depends on the developers and sources you choose to follow. A few practical ways to tune it:

  • Follow developers whose posts and comments you consistently find useful
  • Follow sources that regularly publish in your stack or domain
  • Join Squads that match the communities you want to keep up with
  • Unfollow noisy accounts or sources when your interests change

For individual people controls, see Following and Blocking Users.

How it differs from other feeds​

  • For You: ranked recommendations based on your interests and activity
  • Following: content from people, sources, and Squads you explicitly follow
  • Explore: broader discovery beyond your existing network
