# Following and Library

> Following brings a curator's new public links into your channels that include Following. Links, Curations, and Curators show your Library; Deliveries shows your delivery history.

Following a curator brings their new public links into your delivery channels that include Following. Your Library keeps track of who you follow, your curations, and their links. **Deliveries** shows your delivery history separately.

## What does following someone do?

It adds them to your **Following** source, and nothing more by itself. That source covers their public curations, including public curations they make later. The Daily Diff, which every account starts with, includes it.

Following someone doesn't subscribe you to their curations or add their links to your Library.

## How do I follow someone?

Choose **Follow** on their profile, on the card that appears when you hover over their name, or in a curation's toolbar as "Follow @username". The button then reads **Following**; hover over it and it reads **Unfollow**.

They see your name in their [Activity](https://docs.curation.space/your-space/activity.md).

## What's the difference between following and subscribing?

Following covers a curator; subscribing covers one curation.

| | Following a curator | Subscribing to a curation |
| - | - | - |
| Covers | Every public curation of theirs, now and later | One curation |
| Includes unlisted curations | No | Yes, if you have its link |
| Delivered by | Each of your channels that includes Following | The channel you subscribed with |
| Adds to Library | The curator | The curator, the curation, and its links |

## What's in my Library?

The sidebar opens three pages for your Library and one for your delivery history:

* **Curators:** people you follow and the owners of curations you subscribe to, marked **Following**, **Subscribed**, or both.
* **Links:** every distinct link in your curations and the ones you subscribe to.
* **Curations:** all of yours and the ones you subscribe to.
* **Deliveries:** every delivery your channels have made.

Filter by **All**, **Yours**, or **Subscribed**, or by a curator or curation. The pages refresh every 30 seconds, and their filters stay in the address, so you can return to a view.

## Can I search my Library?

Yes, with Find, the same as in a curation. Press **/** or choose **Find**, and type. Find ignores case and accents, and every word you type must match. A Library search can be up to 500 characters, and it searches only your Library, never all of Curation Space.

## How do I find new curators?

Choose **Explore** in the sidebar: "Search by topic or link". Results come in three groups, Curations, Curators, and Links, three of each at first, with **Show more**. With nothing typed, it shows **New curators**.

Search for a link's address to see "Curations with this link" and "More from" its site. You can also type in the power menu and choose "Search Explore for…".

## Why can't I find someone's curation in Explore?

Explore shows only public curations. Unlisted and private ones never appear. If a search finds nothing, it says so and offers **New curation**, to start one yourself.

## How often can I search Explore?

Up to 60 times a minute when you're signed in, and 30 when you're not.
