# Followings

Every account the 9,000+ key profiles follow, seconds after they follow it.

Each row is one follow: a key profile (left) followed an account (right). Because every follow gets its own row, a project that several key profiles are piling into shows up again and again. That repetition is the signal Followings exists for.

## Reading a row

* **+N · 24h** under the project is how many key followers it gained in the last 24 hours; **Key Followers** is its total. Read them together: 8 in total with +6 today is a very different story from 80 with +1.
* **Tags** under the key profile say who they are (*Founder @…*, *Investing @…*). Tags you add yourself come first.
* **⚠** and the amber marker on the project are previous usernames and posted contracts. Hover them before you get excited about a "new" account.
* Key profiles on your watchlist are highlighted, so their follows stand out as they scroll by.

## Follow one thread

Hover a row for two funnels:

* next to the key profile, *Only @name's followings*: everything that one person has been following lately;
* next to the 24h chip, *Everyone who followed @name*: who is in on a project, and in what order.

The eye-off button hides a key profile you find noisy.

| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Curated**                  | Drops the alpha-hunter list, which follows far more accounts than anyone else. Keeps founders, funds, developers and official accounts.                                      |
| **Lists**                    | **Founders**, **High Pos** (C-level, heads of), **Dev**, **Research**, **Investors**, **Official** (project accounts), **Connections** (ambassadors, partners), **Hunters**. |
| **Followers**                | Size of the followed account. A low maximum keeps it to accounts that are still early.                                                                                       |
| **Key Followers**            | How many key profiles already follow the account.                                                                                                                            |
| **KP Followers**             | The key profile's own audience. Raise the minimum to see only big accounts' follows.                                                                                         |
| **KP Key Followers**         | How many key profiles follow the key profile itself: a read on how its peers rate it.                                                                                        |
| **Unfiltered** (funnel icon) | Adds accounts our classifier hasn't reviewed yet. More noise, sometimes earlier.                                                                                             |

Filters are remembered in this browser. **Queries** keeps named sets of filters on your account; **Set as default** loads one whenever you open Followings, on any device.

Sounds, alert rules and the separate window are on [Alert rules and the pop-out](/find-projects-early/followings/alert-rules-and-pop-out.md).

**Free plan:** follows of accounts with 40 or fewer key followers are hidden.
