Follow a library

Follow a library to get access to its content. There are two ways to follow a library:

:local:

Use a sharing link

If you've received a sharing link, you can use this to follow a library. To do this:

::::{tab-set}

:::{tab-item} Desktop :sync: desktop

  1. Log in to your pod.
  2. Select the upload icon ({fa}upload) in the top of the sidebar.
  3. Select {guilabel}Get started under {guilabel}Follow remote libraries. A screen appears showing you the libraries you are following.
  4. Paste the sharing link into the {guilabel}Search a remote library search bar.
  5. Select the {guilabel}Search icon or hit {kbd}⏎ Return to search for the library. If the library exists, a library card appears.
  6. Select {guilabel}Follow on the library card. If the library's privacy level is {guilabel}Nobody except me, the owner needs to approve the request.

:::

:::{tab-item} Mobile :sync: mobile

  1. Log in to your pod.
  2. Select the upload icon ({fa}upload) at the top of the screen
  3. Select {guilabel}Get started under {guilabel}Follow remote libraries. A screen appears showing you the libraries you are following.
  4. Paste the sharing link into the {guilabel}Search a remote library search bar.
  5. Select the {guilabel}Search icon or hit {kbd}⏎ Return to search for the library. If the library exists, a library card appears.
  6. Select {guilabel}Follow on the library card. If the library's privacy level is {guilabel}Nobody except me, the owner needs to approve the request.

::: ::::

That's it! The server then scans the content and you can see it on your {term}pod.

Follow from content on your pod

You can only follow a library from content pages if its privacy level is not {guilabel}`Nobody except me`.

If a user on your {term}pod has already followed a library, you can find it by selecting content from that library. To do this:

  1. Log in to your pod.
  2. Select a track, album, or artist from the library you want to follow.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. The library card appears in the {guilabel}User libraries section.
  4. Select {guilabel}Follow on the library card.

You're done! The content will remain on the server even if the other user stops following the library.
