Hi
When someone add you as friends, you could check the message which was plurked in private. As a fan(or you called followers),you could see the message in public only.
I hope it helps.

hikaruxjun: korean translation was bit weird and it was hard to find kind explanation. Thanks you for your help. ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡

som_amethyst: I I guess plurk only provide the Instructions in English. you can check here:Plurk - FAQ - Plurk

som_amethyst: Hi! Adding someone as a friend also means you can see each other’s post in your main timeline, whereas adding someone as a fan/follower is only one-sided.

Usually if people are interested in what you post, they will add you as your follower. If you have a conversation with someone or want to interact with them regularly, you can add each other as friends!

By the way, the most popular tag on Plurk for cotton dolls is #棉花娃 instead of #棉花娃娃 Hope this is helpful!

anustart: Wow, thank you for the detailed explanation! It's incredibly helpful( ꙭ )‪‪.ᐟ.ᐟ

som_amethyst: No problem at all! Plurk is not the easiest platform to learn, so feel free to ask any question if you have one! Welcome to Plurk!
