How to Control and Manage Feed Notifications on Quora: Blocking Irrelevant Users

Often, Quora users find themselves overwhelmed with notifications and questions from certain accounts, particularly those who ask numerous questions or engage in spamming behavior. To manage your feed more effectively and control what you see, this article provides a comprehensive guide to blocking, muting, and managing your feed. Read on to learn how to handle serial questioners and irrelevant accounts on Quora.

Understanding the Problem

A common issue users face is dealing with notifications and questions from accounts they wish to ignore. Whether these are accounts that spam questions or ask an unusually large number of questions, the impact on your feed can be significant. This article will help you navigate the challenges of managing your feed and reducing the influx of unwanted questions.

Blocking Users on Quora

If you want to completely eliminate the presence of a user's activity from your feed, blocking is the most effective method. Blocking a user prevents not only notifications but also the visibility of their content and questions. However, it's important to note that blocking doesn't prevent the user from sending you a direct message or creating a new account with the same name.

To block a user, follow these steps:

Go to the person's profile. Click the three dots to the right of the 'Ask' button. Select 'Block'. Confirm the block at the upper right corner.

Muting Topics on Quora

Muting a topic is another method to control your feed. When you mute a topic, you receive fewer notifications about questions related to that specific topic. While muting a topic doesn't block the user, it significantly reduces the frequency of unwanted notifications.

To mute a topic, follow these steps:

Identify a topic that frequently causes you notifications. Go to a related question. Click the three dots below and to the right of the name and select 'Mute'.

Dealing with Serial Questioners

Serial questioners on Quora can be particularly irritating, posting numerous questions that may not provide much value. While you can block these accounts, the best course of action may be to mute the specific space or topic where these users frequently post questions. Blocking may be necessary if the user continues to bother you or if they repeatedly ask poor-quality questions.

Here are some steps to manage serial questioners:

Identify the serial questioners and their patterns of behavior. Go to their profile page and click the three dots to the right of the 'Ask' button. Select 'Mute' or 'Block' based on your preference. Consider muting the related topics to minimize additional notifications.

Summary and Final Thoughts

Quora provides several tools to help you manage your feed and reduce the impact of unwanted notifications. By using blocking and muting features effectively, you can control the content and users that appear in your feed. Remember, managing your feed may require a combination of different strategies to achieve the best results.
