Access communities

This section of the guide explains how you can keep track of a community you’re interested in. Specifically this section covers off how you can:

  • follow and un-follow a community, so that you can monitor and respond to comments made within the community,

  • favourite and un-favourite community pages, so that you can quickly access them from the homepage.

Follow a community

Overview

'Following' a community is the best way to track what’s happening within that community. There are several things that occur when you 'follow' a community. This includes:

  • the community appearing in the Communities accordion of your Staff profile page,

  • the community appearing in your My Communities listing, accessible from the User avatar menu, and

  • comments made within the community appearing in the My Communities social feed on your homepage.

You can follow a community from:

  • the Communities listing page,

  • the Community overview page for a community,

  • a Community discussion page of a community.

You are also able to un-follow the community from the same pages.
