4 How are the WeiCity Recommendations and Following pages different? Find the content you want to see
Learn two browsing entry points: one for discovering new posts and one for keeping up with accounts you are interested in.
When browsing WeiCity updates, what is the difference between the Recommendations and Following pages? This article explains the browsing purposes of each page from the perspectives of discovering content and keeping up with accounts over time. Using examples of lifestyle interests, knowledge sharing and merchant updates, it helps you choose the entry point you need and, starting from one interesting post, gradually find people worth following.

When you open the social feed page, what do you usually want to see?
Sometimes you just want to browse casually and see whether there are new photos, videos, life sharing, or practical knowledge.
Other times, you already have creators you like, familiar merchants, or friends you often follow, and you want to see what they have posted recently.
These two different browsing needs can be understood through the **"Recommended" and "Following"** pages in WeiCity social feeds.
๐ Recommended page: Focuses on exploring different content and discovering new topics, creators, and merchants.
๐ฅ Following page: Focuses on browsing updates from accounts you follow, so you can keep up with people and content you are interested in.
๐ธ Discover interesting photos and life records.
๐ฌ Browse videos shared by creators.
๐ก Read practical knowledge and experiences.
๐ช Learn about different merchants and their products and services.
๐ค Gradually build social connections through interaction and following.
Recommended helps you discover new interests, while Following helps you continue the interests you already have.
Understanding the difference can help you browse WeiCity feeds with more direction.
When you don't have a specific account in mind, or want to encounter different topics, you can start from the Recommended page.
The Recommended page is mainly used to explore the feed content presented by the platform.
You might become interested in a topic because of a photo, a video, or a shared experience.
Then, you can learn more about the person or merchant who published the content.
For example:
๐๏ธ Travel scenery.
๐ฝ๏ธ Food experiences.
๐ธ Daily life.
๐ Event documentation.
๐ธ Photography sharing.
You may not have planned to look for a particular place, but after seeing a travel update, you may discover a attraction worth learning about.
For example:
๐ท Photographers.
๐จ Designers.
๐ Floral designers.
๐ ๏ธ Craftspeople.
๐ฌ Video creators.
Through their works and making processes, you can learn more about creators' interests and characteristics.
For example:
๐ Baking techniques.
๐ฑ Gardening knowledge.
๐ ๏ธ Daily maintenance methods.
๐ Learning insights.
๐ก Life tips.
For example:
๐ป Technology knowledge.
๐ Education sharing.
๐จ Design experience.
๐ช Business operations.
๐ธ Photography tips.
For example:
๐ฝ๏ธ Food and beverage merchants.
๐๏ธ Retail shops.
๐ Flower studios.
๐ ๏ธ Service merchants.
๐ Educational institutions.
The specific content, display order, and scope of the Discover page are determined by WeiCity's current platform.
Appearing on the Discover page does not mean the platform guarantees the accuracy of content, product quality, or merchant services.
๐ The Discover page is suitable for exploring unfamiliar content, helping you find new interests and accounts through different shares.
When you come across an account you're interested in and want to keep up with what they share, you can follow it as needed.
The Following page can serve as an entry point for browsing updates from accounts you follow.
For example:
๐ท You like a photographer's work.
๐ฑ You want to keep following a gardening enthusiast's plant records.
๐ You want to keep reading a creator's knowledge sharing.
๐ช You want to learn about a merchant's recent product news.
For example:
๐จ New work.
๐ท Photography records.
๐ฌ Creating videos.
โ๏ธ Making process.
For example:
๐ฑ Plant growth records.
๐ฅพ Outdoor activities.
๐ณ Cooking shares.
๐๏ธ Travel experiences.
For example:
๐ก Practical tips.
๐ Learning experiences.
๐ป Technology knowledge.
๐ ๏ธ Professional sharing.
For example:
๐๏ธ New product introductions.
๐ฝ๏ธ New menu sharing.
๐ Store events.
๐ฆ Product preparation process.
๐ฅ Daily life of the team.
Following helps you build a range of accounts you're interested in, making it easier to continue browsing related content later.
However, following does not mean every update will always be displayed in full, nor does it guarantee you will receive notifications.
Actual display methods, sorting, and reminder settings depend on the platform's current features.
๐ The Following page is suited to keeping up with people and accounts you're already interested in, rather than only discovering new content at random.
Although both pages let you browse updates, their main purposes differ.
| Comparison Item | ๐ Discover | ๐ฅ Following |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Explore new content | Keep up with followed accounts |
| Content source | Updates presented by the platform | Updates related to followed accounts |
| Usage scenarios | Not sure what to look at | Already have accounts you're interested in |
| Suitable for | People who want to discover new interests | People who want to keep reading specific accounts |
| Possible next steps | View profiles, interact, follow | Read new updates, reply and discuss |
| Main value | Expands the range of content exploration | Continues existing reading interests |
For example:
๐ฟ When you want to see new lifestyle sharing.
๐จ When you want to discover different creators.
๐ฝ๏ธ When you want to browse food content.
๐ก When you want to explore new knowledge topics.
๐ช When you want to get to know other merchants.
For example:
๐ท When you want to check whether a favorite photographer has new work.
๐ฑ When you want to know what's changed recently with a gardening sharer's plants.
๐ When you want to keep reading a particular knowledge topic.
๐ช When you want to follow recent updates from a familiar merchant.
You don't need to use only one of these pages.
You can first discover content through Discover, then decide based on your interest whether to follow the publisher.
After that, use the Following page to keep up with related updates.
๐ Discover is for finding, Following is for continuing; used together, they can give your social browsing more direction.
Sometimes, a single update may spark your interest in a topic you weren't previously familiar with.
For example, on the Discover page you see a pottery-making video.
The video shows the process of shaping clay, trimming the cup rim, and finishing the piece.
You find the content interesting and want to learn more.
You can explore further in the following ways.
See what the video or photos mainly introduce.
For example:
๐จ Pottery making.
๐ ๏ธ Handcraft techniques.
โ Finished pieces.
If you want to know who shared this content, you can go to the related account page.
See whether the publisher consistently shares similar topics.
For example:
๐จ Different pottery works.
๐ ๏ธ Making Process.
๐ก Creative experience.
For example:
โค๏ธ Like to express appreciation.
๐ฌ Reply to discuss making details.
If you want to keep up with them, you can follow the account as needed.
Afterward, you can use the Following entry point to view updates from the accounts you follow.
Actual content display depends on the current page.
Because a single piece of content may only coincidentally match your interests.
Learning about the publisher's other shares can help you decide whether you want to keep following them.
๐ Starting with content, then learning about the publisher, and finally deciding whether to follow is a natural way to explore socially.
Browsing updates doesn't have to mean just watching.
If a piece of content catches your interest, you can take the conversation further as needed.
For example:
๐ธ Liking a photography work.
๐จ Appreciating a design work.
๐ You're interested in a baking creation.
For example:
"Where was this photo taken?"
"What materials were used in this work?"
โWhat's the key point in making this bread?โ
For example, after seeing a plant repotting video, you could ask:
โWhat type of potting mix did you use this time?โ
After seeing a photography work, you could ask:
โWhen was this photo taken?โ
If you want to learn more about the publisher, you can view the public profile information the related account provides.
If you want to keep up with their shares, you can follow them as needed.
As interactions increase, both sides may discover shared interests.
For example:
๐ท Photography enthusiasts exchange shooting experiences.
๐ฑ Gardening enthusiasts discuss plant care.
๐จ Creators share crafting techniques.
๐ผ Professionals exchange work experience.
Following an account does not mean the two parties have established a contact relationship.
Likewise, liking or replying does not mean the other party has agreed to further private contact.
๐ Interacting around specific content makes it easier to find common topics than conversation without a theme.
For merchants, their updates may be seen by two different types of readers.
First: people encountering the brand for the first time.
Second: people who already follow the brand.
These two groups may have different levels of familiarity with the content.
Therefore, when preparing updates, merchants can consider both reading scenarios.
These users may not know:
๐ช What kind of business you run.
๐ Where the merchant is located.
๐๏ธ What products are offered.
๐ฌ How to make further inquiries.
Therefore, updates can provide appropriate background.
For example:
โWe are a bakery studio located in Penang, and today we're sharing a whole wheat bread that is currently being tested.โ
These users may already understand the merchant's basic business.
They may be more interested in:
๐๏ธ New products.
๐ฆ Latest progress.
๐ Recent events.
๐ฝ๏ธ New menus.
๐ก Professional sharing.
For example:
โThe whole wheat bread we shared last week has now had its second recipe adjustment today.โ
For example:
๐ Whole wheat bread new product trial record
We are a bakery studio located in Penang.
Today we continue testing a new whole wheat bread recipe.
๐ฅฃ This time we mainly adjusted the fermentation time, aiming for a softer texture.
๐ The video shows the freshly baked bread and the interior texture after cutting.
๐ฆ It is still in the testing stage and not yet on sale.
๐ฌ Do you prefer soft bread, or bread with a firmer texture?
๐ New readers learn who the merchant is.
๐ฅ Followers learn the latest progress.
๐ The content has a clear theme.
๐ฆ Product availability status is clear.
๐ฌ Makes it easy to discuss the content.
Even for a series of content, it is recommended to explain important background in the current update.
๐ When publishing content, merchants should make sure new users can understand it while also giving existing followers new information.
For photographers, designers, handcraft creators, and knowledge sharers, social posts can help showcase their work and experience.
For example:
๐ธ What the work is.
๐ก Creative inspiration.
๐จ Design features.
๐ ๏ธ How it was made.
For example:
โ๏ธ Post 1: Introduce the creative concept.
๐จ Post 2: Show the making process.
๐ Post 3: Share details of revisions.
๐ผ๏ธ Post 4: Present the final work.
For example:
โWhy did you choose these colors for this piece?โ
โWhat materials were used in this work?โ
โHow did you handle the lighting when shooting?โ
Not every post needs to ask users to follow.
Clear and valuable sharing lets viewers decide for themselves whether they want to learn more.
The content selection and display method of the recommendations page are subject to WeiCity's current platform.
Publishing content does not guarantee that it will enter the recommendations page or receive a specific number of views.
๐ Through clear work introductions and ongoing sharing, creators can give interested people the chance to learn more about their creations.
Sometimes you may get to know a restaurant, retail store, or service merchant through a post.
For example:
๐ฝ๏ธ Seeing a restaurant share a new dish.
๐ Seeing a flower shop display a bouquet.
๐ ๏ธ Seeing a repair merchant introduce maintenance tips.
๐ Seeing an education provider share teaching knowledge.
If you want to learn more, you can check the information the merchant publicly provides.
Learn about:
๐ Main business of the merchant.
๐๏ธ Products or services.
๐ Location.
For example:
๐ช Store environment.
๐๏ธ Product photos.
๐ฌ Frequently asked questions.
๐ Event documentation.
If a merchant offers a WeiCity merchant channel, you can use the related entry point to learn more from the information displayed there.
For example:
๐ช Brand introduction.
๐๏ธ Products and services.
๐ธ Images and content.
๐ Contact information.
For example:
๐ฐ Current price.
๐ฆ Stock availability.
๐ Appointment times.
๐ Service area.
For example, a promotion shared three months ago may have already ended.
Therefore, please confirm the relevant information before taking action.
๐ Social posts can help you discover merchants, but please check current information before actually buying or booking.
When browsing the recommendations or following page, you may see content that was published earlier.
For example:
๐ Weekend events.
๐๏ธ Limited-time offers.
๐ฝ๏ธ New menus.
๐๏ธ Product promotions.
๐ Course enrollment.
This content may be subject to time limits.
Confirm when the content was published.
For example:
๐ช Store location.
๐ Event venues.
๐ Service area.
For example:
๐ต Current selling price.
๐๏ธ Offer period.
๐ฆ Product stock.
๐ Usage restrictions.
For example:
โCan I still sign up for this event now?โ
Or:
โIs this product still available at the moment?โ
You see a restaurant share the following on the recommendations page:
โSpecial menu launching this weekend.โ
However, this post may have been published earlier.
Therefore, before you go, you should first confirm:
๐ Event Dates.
๐ฝ๏ธ The current menu.
๐ The business location.
๐ Whether a reservation is required.
Whether a post comes from the recommendations or following page, you should judge based on the nature of the content whether it needs to be verified again.
๐ Posts help you discover information; confirming details before acting helps reduce misunderstandings.
Entry points may differ across devices and platform versions.
Follow the functions provided by the current WeiCity social interface.
Step 1: Open the WeiCity social feed page.
Step 2: Find the recommendations-related entry point.
Step 3: Browse the content the platform presents.

๐ Understanding the purpose of both pages lets you choose the entry point that suits your reading goals.
The recommendations page is mainly used to explore content posts presented by the platform, helping users discover different topics and accounts.
The following page is mainly used to browse related posts from accounts you follow.
Recommendations focus on discovering new content.
Following focuses on keeping up with accounts that interest you.
The recommendations page focuses on content exploration and is not limited to accounts you already follow.
The specific scope of display depends on the current platform.
Not necessarily.
The actual display and sorting method are subject to WeiCity's current features.
Not necessarily.
Whether notifications are provided, and how they take effect, should be checked in the current features and your personal settings.
You can view the account using the method provided on the current page and decide whether to follow it.
No.
Following and being a contact are different types of relationships.
Not necessarily.
Whether content appears on the recommendations page depends on the platform's actual mechanism.
Appearing on the recommendations page alone should not be used to judge a merchant's quality or service reliability.
For purchases, bookings, or payments, further check the merchant's information and transaction conditions.
Yes.
The two suit different browsing needs, and you can switch between them according to your actual interests.
Start by deciding what you want to do.
๐ Discover new content: browse recommendations.
๐ฅ View familiar accounts: browse following.
๐ฌ Exchange ideas: take part in replies.
๐ช Learn about merchants: view related information.
๐ Recommendations and following are not functions that replace each other; they help users meet different browsing needs.

โ Get to know new creators.
โ Learn about different merchants.
โ Go to the following page.

๐ Choosing a browsing method based on your goal can help every social exploration have more direction.
Social feeds are not only for viewing photos and videos. They can also be a gateway to understanding different lifestyles, interests and professional fields.
When you don't have a specific account in mind, you can start from the Recommended page.
