Following your friends

In Kevra you follow people, as on other social networks. When two people follow each other, you're friends: the app shows Friend instead of Following, and that's what counts for seeing things someone only shares with friends.

Note: Community needs an account. If you use Kevra without one, you won't see this tab.

Finding someone

Go to the Community tab.
In Activity, Reading now or Clubs, tap Find people.
Type their name or @username.
Tap Follow.

You can also follow someone from their profile, which opens when you tap their photo anywhere in the app, or from their profile link if they've shared it with you.

What you see from the people you follow

In Community:

Activity: at the top, in circles, friends who are reading right now; the ring shows how far along they are, and tapping one shows what they're reading. Below, what they've started, finished and reviewed, the quotes they share and the lists they publish. On each card you can give a ♥ or tap Want to read.
Reading now: each person with their book, how far they are and when they last read, under Today, This week and Earlier. You can send them a Cheer. At the bottom, Most read by your friends over the last year.

You only see what each person has chosen to share. See Who can see what you read.

Your followers and who you follow

Open your profile (your photo, top left in Community) and tap Followers or Following. Each row says whether you follow that person, and you can follow or unfollow right there. It works the same on anyone's profile.

Notifications

The bell at the top of Community lets you know when someone follows you, invites you to a club, sends you a cheer or likes something you shared.

Blocking or reporting

On someone's profile, in its menu, you can Block them (you stop seeing each other) or Report them if something isn't right. To undo it, Unblock.

Community is empty

If you don't see anything, Community tells you why: how many people you follow, how many read privately and how many only share with friends and don't follow you yet. Meanwhile, the Discover tab always has something. See Discover books.
