How do I make my feed visible but without followers?
What de title says. Thank you for reading!
Yeah, really should have posted this earlier, huh.
Currently, the only way is to view profile pages while signed out - followed feeds are private but feed itself isn't. Dunno if that's a bug or on purpose but there's something to note! The only remaining problem is that if we see a post there to be re-posted or hearted - we can't. Unless say, we lose our lazy enough to go hunting for mirror posts.

If you mean you would like people to see your feed, but without having to follow you. You can do so by going through your settings and unticking the "Closed (follow requests require my approval)" box. Hope this helps.
I think all feed posts are public, followers just means that your posts will show up in your followers feed.
Can someone from the feed team confirm and respond to the rest of the original post, as I'm confused about the signed out part.
@JaceofSpades @Sarah hopefully I'm tagging the right people!

Yes, that is correct. All feed posts are public and anyone who views your profile will be able to see them. However, having followers can help make others be aware of your posts.
@AffyAvo - I think I answered it. See what I read and let me know if something about that still confuses you?
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn I think I got it now! I was a little lost with a part of the question at first.
I think you can make it more visible by tagging others you think that may be interested in your post. When you tag someone, they'll get an alert. Then once they've seen it, they have the option to heart and repost. Taa Daaa, successful feed post. :)
I'm not quite sure what the question is & others may have answered it, but I will try.
- All feed posts are visible to the public
- Following someone means their feed posts will show up in your incoming feed
- You may remove a follower if you don't want them seeing your posts that way (they will still be able to go to your feed and see your poss)
- You can block a follower who is bothering you. They will not be allowed to see your posts when logged in, but they wil be able to log out and see them as all posts are public (but then they can't repost as themselves and write something mean, etc.)
- By default follower lists and who you are following is public info anyone can see
- You can close your list to hide who you are following and who is following you. Your posts will still be public as above.
I'm probably forgetting something.
