# Finding & following keepers
_Finding other keepers, and keeping up with the ones you like._
## Finding aquariums
Everything worth a visit is on the Map. Pick the Coral Neighbourhood on the ocean map to see keepers' aquariums as homes, or open Friends in the Keeper OS to go straight to someone you know.
## Friends
Friends lists everyone you follow and everyone who follows you. Whoever is playing now comes first, at home in their aquarium or swimming in Open Water, then everyone else with when they were last seen. Search by name, or switch between All, Following and Followers; Mutual marks a keeper who follows you back. Open it from the Keeper OS or straight from the right-click menu.
Visit takes you to a friend's aquarium and Gift opens the gift shop with their name filled in. The More button beside them holds Whisper for mutual friends, the aquarium link and Unfollow, which asks first. Add a friend finds a keeper as you type their name, and your own aquarium link is there to copy and send.
## The Coral Neighbourhood
On the ocean map, the Coral Neighbourhood shows keepers' aquariums as homes on its plots: yours, your friends' and the most starred. Pick a home to visit it. Guests still on the name the game gave them and keepers who haven't been around for a month are listed under the reef as Other keepers, one press from a visit.
Your home and your friends' homes always wear their keeper's name, a dot for whether they're home, out swimming or away, and their stars; friends' homes are marked in teal and yours in gold. Every other home shows its name when you point at it, reach it with the keyboard or hold a finger on it, so the names never hide the homes. Point at a home, or tap it once, to open its card with level, fish, followers and stars, then Visit, or tap the home again, to go there. Every keeper picks their own home from the painted homes in Settings › Account, and that is the home everybody sees; until you pick one, a home is chosen for you.
## Following
Follow a keeper from their aquarium to keep them close: they show up in Friends, in the Keeper OS, and among the homes in the Coral Neighbourhood. Their follower count shows on the aquarium's plaque.
You can also follow straight from a home's card in the Coral Neighbourhood or from a keeper's row in Friends. Point at Following and it turns into Unfollow, so taking it back is one press.
## Stars
Signed-in keepers can give each aquarium one star, and take it back whenever they like. When someone stars your aquarium, you see who in your notifications and in your While you were away summary.
Only saved accounts can give stars, so new guest accounts can't lift an aquarium up the field. A guest can still look, follow and chat, and can give stars once they [save their progress](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/signin).
## Blocking and reporting
Blocking works both ways and takes effect straight away: neither of you sees the other's messages or fish. Reports go to a moderator, who reads every one.
