 ### Ranking overview for the popular feed
 
 Once a post is featured on daily.dev, it begins to rank based on various factors, such as:
 
-* The number of unique reads the post has received
-* The number of upvotes the post has obtained from our community members
-* The freshness of the post, or how recently it was published
-* Other parameters related to content quality and engagement levels

+
+# Following Feed
+
+The **Following** feed at `/following` gives you a dedicated stream of content from the users,
+sources, and Squads you actively follow on daily.dev.
+
+Unlike **For You**, which is recommendation-driven, Following is built from explicit choices you
+make across the product. It is useful when you want a feed that reflects the developers, publishers,
+and communities you already trust.
+
+## Where to find it
+
+When you are signed in, open the main sidebar and select **Following**.
+
+UI reference:
+
+- Sidebar item: `Following`
+- Route: `/following`
+
+## What appears in the Following feed
+
+Your Following feed can include:
+
+- New posts from sources you follow
+- New posts from users you follow
+- New posts from Squads you joined or follow
+
+The feed is personalized from your follow graph, so it becomes more useful as you follow more
+relevant people and sources.
+
+## How to improve the feed
+
+The quality of the Following feed depends on the developers and sources you choose to follow. A few
+practical ways to tune it:
+
+- Follow developers whose posts and comments you consistently find useful
+- Follow sources that regularly publish in your stack or domain
+- Join Squads that match the communities you want to keep up with
+- Unfollow noisy accounts or sources when your interests change
+
+For individual people controls, see
+[Following and Blocking Users](../setting-up-your-feed/following-and-blocking-users.md).
+
+## How it differs from other feeds
+
+- **For You**: ranked recommendations based on your interests and activity
+- **Following**: content from people, sources, and Squads you explicitly follow
+- **Explore**: broader discovery beyond your existing network
+
+If you want to compare all main feed types, see [Feeds](./feeds.md).
+
+## Related settings
+
+Following works best together with:
+
+- [Filtering content in your feed](../setting-up-your-feed/filtering-content-feed.md)
+- [Advanced filtering options](../setting-up-your-feed/advanced-filtering-options.md)
+- [Blocking tags and sources](../setting-up-your-feed/blocking-tags-sources.md)
+- [Following and Blocking Users](../setting-up-your-feed/following-and-blocking-users.md)

+  notifications, and profile experience.'
+---
+
+# Following and Blocking Users
+
+daily.dev lets you control which developers you want to hear from and which ones you do not.
+
+These controls affect your experience across the app, including your **Following** feed,
+notifications, and how much content from specific people appears in your daily.dev experience.
+
+## Follow a user
+
+Following a user tells daily.dev you want to see more from that developer.
+
+When you follow someone, you can get:
+
+- Their posts in your [Following feed](../key-features/following-feed.md)
+- Follow-related notifications, depending on your settings
+- A cleaner signal for the types of developers and conversations you want to keep up with
+
+Common places to follow someone:
+
+- Their profile page
+- Author cards on posts
+- Search and discovery surfaces
+
+## Unfollow a user
+
+If a user is no longer relevant to your interests, you can unfollow them at any time.
+
+Unfollowing stops that person from contributing to your Following feed and removes them from your
+active follow list.
+
+## Block a user
+
+Blocking is a stronger preference than unfollowing.
+
+Use blocking when you do not want content or interactions from a specific user to shape your
+experience.
+
+Blocking can help you:
+
+- Remove a user from your content experience
+- Reduce unwanted interactions
+- Keep your feed focused on the people you want to hear from
+
+## Where to manage these controls
+
+User follow and block controls are available from user-facing surfaces such as profile actions and
+content cards.
+
+UI references:
+
+- Follow state: `Follow` or `Following`
+- Remove state: `Unfollow` or `Remove`
+- Block action: user-level block controls in profile or content actions
+
+## How this connects to other feed settings
+
+Following or blocking users works alongside other personalization tools:
+
+- [Following Feed](../key-features/following-feed.md)
+- [Blocking tags and sources](./blocking-tags-sources.md)
+- [Filtering content in your feed](./filtering-content-feed.md)
+- [Advanced filtering options](./advanced-filtering-options.md)
+
+Together, these settings let you tune both **what topics** you see and **whose content** you see.
+
+## Notifications for followed people and sources
+
+daily.dev also provides follow-based notification controls, including settings for:
+
+- Sources you follow
+- Users you follow
+- Collections you follow
+- Poll results and reminder-related updates
+
+See
+[Notification Settings and Preferences](../your-profile/notification-settings-and-preferences.md).
