Follow users

To stay in sync with somebody, you follow their feed. Scuttlebot will search the network for new messages by your followed users.

Following is controlled by Contact messages that are published on your feed.

bash

sbot publish --type contact --contact {userId} --following

sbot.publish({
  type: 'contact',
  contact: userId,
  following: true 
}, cb)

Example usage (don't copy this directly):

bash

sbot publish \
  --type contact \
  --contact "@hxGxqPrplLjRG2vtjQL87abX4QKqeLgCwQpS730nNwE=.ed25519" \
  --following

sbot.publish({
  type: 'contact',
  contact: '@hxGxqPrplLjRG2vtjQL87abX4QKqeLgCwQpS730nNwE=.ed25519',
  following: true 
}, cb)

Unfollow users

bash

sbot publish --type contact --contact {userId} --no-following

sbot.publish({
  type: 'contact',
  contact: userId,
  following: false
}, cb)
