How do the feeds work on my homepage?

What can I search for on MediFellows?

It also allows you to search for items for sale and various job opportunities. Search using hashtags in order to quickly and easily categorize this content according to topic or speciality, e.g. #vaccinedebate or #opioidcrises
What are fellows and how do I add fellows?
Fellows are your contacts or people that you connect with on a daily basis. They can be your colleagues, or even someone that you know from a different country, hospital etc. It's simple to add fellows, all you do is click on the search bar at top of the MediFellows app, and enter the name of the fellow that you want to add. To send a request, simply click the 'add fellows' button next to their name and they will be notified that you have sent them a request
Fellow vs Follow?
Fellow - a user has to be accepted by another user in order to be one’s ’fellow’. When you are a fellow of another user, you have full access to contact that person via Medichat (private instant message). Fellows have great accessibility to one another. Follow - this means that a user can follow another user's content and posts.
Why do we have both Fellow and Follow features?
This provides the user with greater security, and reduces unnecessary or unwanted communication, whilst also allowing him/her the flexibility to share their work and experience with their followers, and selectively follow the users and content that most interests them. A user may be able to follow another user without permission, however that user cannot contact them directly via Medichat, without the consent that comes from the ‘fellow’ request. Similarly, a fellow may want to contact another colleague directly, however may not be interested in following that person’s content.
