Hi @paragraph.

I'm logged into Paragraph. I'm on a publication page that I'd like to subscribe to. I hit "Subscribe" and you ask for an email address. Why? I just want it in my feed. What am I doing wrong?

Is Gemini right when it tells me ... "You're encountering a frustrating limitation of Paragraph.xyz's current implementation. It's designed to heavily rely on email, even when you're logged in with a Web3 wallet, which goes against the core ethos of Web3." ?

Thanks for the bringing this up!

In general, to "subscribe" to a publication, you have to do so with a wallet or email. We don't really have the concept of a "follow" action on Paragraph today, and instead try to help writers grow their "owned" audience (emails & wallets).

The Gemini bit is a little misleading IMO - you're more than welcome to use Paragraph with only a wallet, no email. Many readers & writers have this set-up.

When you say "feed", are you referring to your Warpcast feed, Paragraph feed (https://paragraph.xyz/home), or something else?

Thanks @reidtandy. To your question, I'm talking about my Paragraph feed. Apols for the ambiguity. I'm logged in, I have a wallet associated with Paragraph, but subscribing still demands an email address. Have I got that right?

@reidtandy is usually pretty quick to respond!
