It is always a good idea to manage your followers so that you keep your feed clean and your follower's numbers down.

As members go inactive we often find that we carry quite a bit of dead wood.
In this Steemit article, I'm going to show you how to quickly find and unfollow that dead wood quickly.

For this method to work you need to be using the Google Chrome Browser with the LinkClump chrome extension added to your browser. You can download it here
Linkclump gives you the ability to drag a selection box around links using your mouse to quickly open as new tabs, open in new window, save as bookmarks, or copy to clipboard. Similar to Snap Links or Multi Links for Firefox.

NB please note that the method outlined below may differ slightly if your using Multi Links or Snap Links with Firefox

HOW TO FIND AND UNFOLLOW INACTIVE STEEMIT MEMBERS FAST

1/ Go to your profile page and then click followers to load everyone that you are following
2/ Right Click your mouse and don't release and drag across 10-20 from your following list as shown below and release.

A number of new tabs will open showing the profile pages of the members you selected.

3/ Click the first tab that has opened and look at the last couple of posts to see when the member was last active.
4/ Unfollow or close the tab.
5/ Click to the next tab on your browser and repeat.
6/ When you have checked the 10 or so profiles that you selected, repeat the process and open 10 new profiles open.

Takeaways

It is always a great idea to keep your follower list up to date. This is currently in my mind because I have been away from Steemit recently and on coming back found that I was following members who were last active up to 6 months ago.

Now, none of this is a big deal cause if they are inactive they are not pumping content into your feed. But your page just looks better and more professional when it's managed and tidy. It looks so much better having 1000 followers and following 200 or 300 rather than following 1000.

It tells visitors that people are choosing to follow this person rather than just following because they were followed.

I hear you, it is definitely more time consuming being active on Steemit

The Latest From Infobunny
Instagram adds two new features

you also picked up a new follow ;-)

The more I look the more I find, whether people I know from tsū or elsewhere or if it’s new content creators I stumble across... plus all the various features and functions, steemit will likely cause my brain to operate differently as time goes on, ha ha...

have you got the markdown code covered yet for your posts?

I’m so far behind with steemit, it’s sad, ha ha, but I’m learning... what is it that I need to do, and how does it help?

markdown is the code that you use to add magic to your posts like
headlines like this

h1

h2

h3

and block quotes like this

"im in blockquotes"

and a whole host of other things

I’ll likely need to login using my laptop for all this... I’m on my iPhone now, and while I’m able to do a lot with it there are still some limitations...

Unless if I’m just not doing it right...

well on android you can download the site as a home screen item, then if you know the code then you can just type it. But yes it is way easier on a laptop.
