How do I follow someone and see their new wishes?

Open a person's public profile and choose Follow, then check your following feed to see wishes from everyone you follow, newest updates first.

Written by Wishpicks

Open their profile and choose Follow. Their wishes start showing up in your following feed, so you can see what they've added or changed.

You follow a person, not a single wishlist. And you'll need to be signed in, because guests can't open the following feed.

Steps

  1. Sign in to your account.

  2. Open the person's profile at their /@handle link.

  3. Choose Follow. The button switches to Following.

  4. Open your following feed. Their wishes appear there alongside everyone else you follow.

What shows up in the feed

Only wishes that sit in at least one Public wishlist. Anything in an Invite only or Anyone with the link wishlist stays hidden, even from people who follow you.

The order is by most recent update, not by when a wish was created. An old wish someone just edited can jump back to the top, so it isn't a strict timeline of new things.

Good to know

Nothing pings you when someone adds a wish. Following doesn't send notifications, so check the feed when you're curious.

There's no way to follow one wishlist on its own. You follow the account and see whatever that person has made public. See "How is my public profile different from sharing a single wishlist?".

You can't follow yourself, so the Follow button never appears on your own profile. And until you follow anyone, the feed just says "No wishes to see here yet! Start following people to see their wishes here."
