With Reddit's "follow" feature introduced a few years ago, users can keep up to date on the latest posts their fellow Redditors make on the platform.

However, many questions were raised about this option.

Users wondered how to see who they follow, how to block a follower, and how to delete someone from their follower list.

These options were not always available, so Reddit implemented them recently to make the platform more enjoyable.

So, if you are new to the Reddit community and haven't gotten your head around this feature yet, don't worry; this blog post will explain everything there is to know about the follow feature on Reddit.

How to see who I follow on Reddit

• From the website - Click on the drop-down menu in the upper left corner. The Redditors you follow will be listed under the subreddits you follow.

• From the mobile app - Select the four-dot icon in the bottom navigational bar to see a list of subscribers on the Reddit app.
• From the old Reddit version - The users you follow will be listed under the subreddits on the right-hand menu. Reddit users you follow are marked with ‘u’.

How can I see who follows me on Reddit?

Similar to other social media platforms, Reddit implemented a feature that allows users to see who their followers are.

Once you open the Reddi mobile app, you will see a link to your followers' list. Tap on it to see your followers.

Most recent followers will appear first on the list of followers.

Here is a screenshot of Reddit's official announcement on this feature.

Why you can’t follow users on Reddit

If you tried to follow a Reddit account and encountered “Failed to follow u/usernme,” it may be due to a few reasons.

New accounts and accounts with low karma are restricted from some activities like following other users. Once your account gains enough karma, you can start following other Redditors.

Another reason why you are unable to follow other Redditors is that they have disabled this feature. Disabling users from following you is a relatively new Reddit feature that allows users to have better control over the privacy of their profile.

The third reason why you can’t follow someone is that you may be blocked. Upon being blocked on Reddit, a user cannot interact with the profile they are blocked from.

How to unfollow someone on Reddit

If you are tired of seeing someone’s post on your News Feed, you can always unfollow that person.

To unfollow someone on Reddit, go to their profile ( you can do this by clicking on the menu where your followers and subreddits are stored) and tap on the ‘Unfollow’ button below their avatar.

How to block someone or Reddit

The blocking feature was also one of the most asked-for options on Reddit.

Luckily, now, users can block unwanted followers on this platform and prevent them from following them. Additionally, if users block a follower, that will remove the user from their followers' list.

Users who are blocked will not be able to tell if they were blocked since they can still view the profile of the person who blocked them, but they will not be able to follow them or receive updates about new posts.

• On iOS and Android, go to the top right corner of their profile, tap the three dots, and tap on Block user.
• On reddit.com, go to their profile, click on ‘More Options’ under their avatar, and click on ‘Block User’.

• On the old Reddit version ‘Block user’

Wrapping Up

Viewing your following list on Reddit is simple.
