Following and Reacting
Tremr is all about interaction, and there's a variety of ways you can connect and react to content on the site.
Following
Every person and tag on Tremr can be followed. To follow a person, simply click the Follow button on their profile page.
This will launch a menu where you can choose to follow all posts from the person, or just a selection of one or more of their feeds.
Likewise, to follow a tag just click the Follow button on the tag page. When following a tag you will automatically follow the tag's Featured feed.
So what does following a person or tag actually mean?
Firstly it's a way to show your interest/support for the person or topic in question. Secondly, it's an easy way to keep up to date with content posted on Tremr. You'll notice that when you're logged into Tremr, the default page is My Tremr:
This is an up to date feed of posts from all of the people and tags that you're currently following. In effect it's your own personalised Tremr 'news feed'.
Likewise, your posts will appear on the My Tremr page of all of your followers. So following, and being followed, is a great way to stay on the pulse of the Tremr community, and get your content seen by a wider audience.
