Connections help you build your social circle on MissionPeak by following and engaging with people who inspire you. Whether it’s friends, fellow hikers, or outdoor influencers, Connections make it easy to stay updated with their activities and share your own journey.
What are Connections?
A Connection is simply the relationship between you and another user on MissionPeak. You can:
- Follow someone to see their posts, Huddles, and Inspirations in your newsfeed.
- Be followed by others who want to stay updated with what you share.
Connections create a dynamic network of outdoor enthusiasts, making it easier to discover events, communities, and inspiring stories.
Followers vs. Following
- Followers – These are people who follow you. They’ll see your public or shareable posts, Huddles, and Inspirations in their feed.
- Following – These are the people you’ve chosen to follow. Their activities will appear in your feed.
This works similar to other social platforms: you don’t need mutual approval to follow someone (unless their profile is private).
