Follow People and Tune Your Feed

A new Glubler account gives you an empty feed, and an empty feed looks like the platform has nothing to offer. It is not that nothing exists — it is that nothing has been pointed at you yet.

Two things change that in the first ten minutes: following people, and choosing what the feed shows. Do both, and Glubler starts feeling genuinely useful.

Finding People to Follow

The search bar takes more than website addresses. It takes a username or profile name, so you can look for a person directly.

What makes a good follow in a Glubler sense is a person who glues the same things you care about. You are not following their life — you are subscribing to their taste.

Practical ways to find them:

• People you already know. Anyone who glues interesting websites. This is how most accounts get their first ten follows.
• People whose collections you like. Open a Glubler you found through search, look at who glued it, and follow them.
• Anyone whose taste you trust in a subject — a photographer, a cook, a traveller. Their finds reach you already filtered.

Following

The Follow button is the same one used for people, and it appears on their profile. Following someone means their glued websites join your feed — not their activity, because Glubler has no posting or activity stream.

Following a Collection Instead

You can also subscribe to a single collection rather than a whole person, using TRACK.

This is worth using deliberately. A large collection you follow can dominate a feed, so tracking the specific one that interests you is often better than following the person.

Tuning the Feed

How much you see is controlled in Settings → Tune Feed. Three dials, each of which is a cap rather than a filter:

Option	What it controls
By Following	Only the people and collections you follow
Most Glued	Adds what is popular across Glubler, so you see things outside your circle
AI Suggested	Adds suggestions based on what you have glued and saved

They are not styles you pick between — they are amounts you set, and they stack. Turn everything down and the feed is only your own follows; turn Most Glued up while you are exploring, then turn it back down once you have found people.

See Tune Feed for the detail on how each one behaves.

Getting the Balance Right

A pattern that works well for most people:

• Start with everything turned down, so your feed is only the ten or so people you deliberately follow. It feels thin, and it is accurate.
• Follow more people before touching any of the other dials. The fix for a boring feed is almost always more follows, not more randomness.
• Turn Most Glued up briefly when you have run out of ideas, and back down when it gets repetitive.
• Leave AI Suggested on unless it repeats itself, and turn it down if it starts echoing what you have already saved.

A feed of twenty follows and three dials at low settings is a better feed than the same twenty with everything turned up.

Unfollowing Without Guilt

Following is not a commitment, and a feed you have muted is not a judgement on anyone. Two practical tips:

• Unfollow rather than stop opening Glubler. If one account is filling your feed with sites you do not care about, that is the whole problem, and removing it is the whole fix.
• TRACK the collection instead when you want someone's taste but not their volume.
