# Follow a topic
|
|
|
|
Zulip lets you follow topics you are interested in. You can follow or unfollow
|
|
any topic. You can also configure Zulip to automatically follow topics you start
|
|
or participate in. Participating in a topic means sending a message,
|
|
[reacting](/help/emoji-reactions) with an emoji, or participating in a
|
|
[poll](/help/create-a-poll). You can also automatically follow topics where you
|
|
are [mentioned](/help/mention-a-user-or-group).
|
|
|
|
It's easy to prioritize catching up on followed topics. You can:
|
|
|
|
- [Configure](/help/follow-a-topic#configure-notifications-for-followed-topics)
|
|
how you get notified about new messages for topics you follow.
|
|
|
|
- Use the <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>N</kbd> [keyboard
|
|
shortcut](/help/keyboard-shortcuts) to go to the next unread followed topic.
|
|
|
|
- Filter the [**inbox**](/help/inbox) and [**recent
|
|
conversations**](/help/recent-conversations) views to only show followed
|
|
topics.
|
|
|
|
- See which topics you are following in the **left sidebar**.
|
|
|
|
You can use followed topics for a variety of workflows:
