Scroll Packs are UpScrolled's feature to make collections of accounts you want to follow and share. These can be created around any interest, industry, or community, making it easier than ever to introduce creators, conversations and communities to new audiences.
What is unique about Scroll Packs?
Specialized focus areas: This tool is great for finding and sharing users who may have a specialized area of interest. This can be great for finding journalists who cover an area you're interested in, or curating academics who research a topic you want to know more about. It can be a tool for mobilization and connection.
An entry point: When you're just starting out a new account, you may be staring at an empty feed wondering where to begin. Scroll Packs help you get started finding the people you want to connect with.
Build trust: When you're able to see the accounts lifted up by others, you can see whose voices may be a source of trust within a community.
Construct your audience: Some will help a creator reach a whole new audience. Others will bring like-minded people together, spark new conversations or help someone find the community they've been looking for.
How do I make a Scroll Pack?
Navigate to your profile, and at the top of the page, scroll right to find the heading that reads "Scroll Packs."
In this section, you will see the packs you've previously created.
You'll also see the option to create a new Scroll Pack.
You will need to create a name for the pack.
You can optionally add a category, description, location by country, specific languages, sensitive content warning, and you can set the pack to be either private or public.
Select the UpScrolled users you want to include on the list by searching for them and choosing those you want.
You must include at least 5 users for the Scroll Pack to be created, and you can list up to a maximum of 100 accounts.
If you include less than 5 or more than 100, the app will not allow you to create the Scroll Pack.
Select "Finish."
You can invite other users to view the Scroll Pack by inviting them.
You can then share your Scroll Pack externally via a link.
Can Scroll Packs have less than 5 users?
Scroll Packs cannot be created with less than five accounts listed, but if users included in the list leave, the number of accounts listed can drop below 5 and the pack will remain active.
How do Scroll Packs work?
You will see a list of accounts selected by the user who created it.
You can either choose to "Follow all" or select the individual accounts from the list you want to follow.
If the list is public, the pack will appear on their profile under the "Scroll Packs" heading.
How do private Scroll Packs work?
If a pack is set to private, they can only be shared with other users through a direct link, meaning you have control over who can see them.
Private Scroll Packs won't show up on your profile.
How do I know if another user has added me to a Scroll Pack?
Within your Settings, you will see a section called "Scroll Packs."
Invites to other users' Scroll Packs will appear here.
You'll also see a list here of public Scroll Packs that you've been added to under the section "Packs you're in."
You can leave a pack another user is created by tapping the "leave" icon on the right side of the page, or by navigating to the pack, selecting the three-dot menu and then choosing "Leave."
Can I opt out of being added to Scroll Packs?
Yes, within your account settings, you can turn off the option that says "Allow to be added to packs." This will make it so that other users cannot add you to a pack.
If you leave a pack, you will see an option to make it so that specific user cannot add you to other packs in the future.
Can I delete a Scroll Pack?
Yes. To delete a Scroll Pack, open the pack you want to delete.
Tap the three-dot menu button on the upper right side of the page.
Select "Delete."
How do I view stats on my Scroll Pack?
Navigate to the pack you want to check and open the three-dot menu, and choose "Stats."
Here, you can view how many members are included in the pack, how many views the pack has, and how many times users have batch followed the list.
Can I report a Scroll Pack for content violations?
Navigate to the pack you want to report and open the three-dot menu, and choose "Report."
Here you can select the violation that best fits what our content moderation team will look into.
Why am I seeing Scroll Packs featured?
Within your feed, you may see featured Scroll packs get recommended in a carousel format. These will appear in your timeline if there are no new posts to display. These will also appear in the Discover section of the app.
I am near the following cap of 7,000 accounts. What happens if I try to batch follow?
If you try to batch follow all the accounts from a Scroll Pack and this would put your following amount over the 7,000-account cap, the app won't allow you to follow all at once.
If you want to follow all accounts on a list, make sure that the total number of accounts you follow will remain less than 7,000 before you attempt to batch follow. See this article on How many accounts can I follow on UpScrolled?
