Follows, comments, and reactions

Following

Following a writer puts their published work in your Following feed on the home page. You can follow anyone on Inkbreaker. Following works like most social platforms: it is one-directional, so the other person does not have to follow you back.

To follow someone, visit their profile or click their username from a piece in the feed, then select Follow.

Unfollowing removes them from your Following feed. The writer is not notified when you unfollow.

Blocking

Blocking a writer stops them from seeing your profile or your published work, and removes them from your feed. You can block from a writer's profile. Blocks are private.

Comments

You can leave a comment on any published piece. Keep comments constructive and on topic. Inkbreaker's community standards apply to comments.

To respond to a comment or reply, select Reply. Your reply joins the same thread and quotes the comment you are answering, so the conversation stays flat and easy to follow rather than nesting deeper and deeper.

Type @ followed by a handle to mention another writer in a comment or reply. They are notified and the mention links to their profile.

The comment count on a piece includes its replies, so it reflects the whole conversation.

Reactions

A reaction is a quick way to respond without writing a full comment. Select the reaction icon on a piece in the feed, or on an individual comment or reply, and pick an emoji. Select your reaction again to remove it, and select the small summary next to it to see who reacted.

Community analytics

With Pro, your community analytics show how your published work is doing: reactions, comments, follows gained, and reader engagement over time.
