app.certified.graph.entityFollow Documentation (EN)

main record

Record declaring a social 'follow' relationship with a non-account entity, such as a specific record. Account (DID) follows are out of scope and belong to app.certified.graph.follow. The subject is an open union so additional non-DID entity kinds can be added in the future. Duplicate follows will be ignored by the AppView.

Record Key tid Timestamp-based ID

Properties

createdAt string datetime Required

Client-declared timestamp when this record was originally created.

signatures ref app.certified.signature.defs#list Optional

Optional cryptographic signatures attesting to this record's content.

subject union Required

The entity being followed. Must never include account DIDs; use app.certified.graph.follow for accounts.

Known types:

app.certified.defs#recordSubject

via ref com.atproto.repo.strongRef Optional

Optional strong reference to a record that mediated this follow (e.g. a starter pack or other curated list). Mirrors the optional `via` field on app.certified.graph.follow; the referenced record may conform with any lexicon.
