What Following Does
When you follow a host or creator on taron, their activity appears in your Home Feed — new events they publish, Community updates they share, live streams they start, and announcements they make. taron's Home Feed has dedicated sections for this content: events from people you follow surface in your personalised recommendations, and hosts you follow are more likely to appear in your Highlights and Trending sections.
Following is how you convert a good one-time event experience into an ongoing relationship with the person who created it. It is also how you stay informed when a host goes live — for online events on taron, the live stream is only accessible to registered attendees, but following a host means you see their events as soon as registration opens, giving you first access before spots fill.
How to Follow
Visit the host's profile — accessible from any Event Page, Community they manage, or through taron search — and tap the follow button. Once followed, their content enters your feed immediately. You can adjust notification settings afterward to control how promptly you are alerted about their activity.
What to Look for Before Following
Not every host you encounter deserves a permanent place in your feed. Before following, check their profile for: recent event activity (how frequently they host), the quality of their Community if they have built one, and whether their content focus matches what you want to see more of. A host with consistent recent events in your area of interest is worth following. One whose last event was eight months ago may not be.
Following and taron's Livestream Features
For online and hybrid events on taron — which are delivered as live streams inside the app — following a host matters for timing. taron's live events fill from registered attendees, and registration is on a first-come basis. Hosts you follow surface their new events earlier in your discovery experience, which means you are more likely to see the event and register before it reaches capacity.
For Creators in the Diaspora
taron serves Africans on the continent and in the diaspora. Following hosts based in Lagos while you are in London, or following diaspora hosts whose online events connect you to African communities — this cross-border following is central to how taron works for diaspora members. The platform is built for it.
