# Follow a channel
Get access to a channel's content by following it. Following a channel makes its content visible to all users on your {term}`pod`.
You can follow channels in a few different ways:
```{contents}
:local:
```
## Follow a channel on your pod
If a user on your pod follows a channel or has published a channel, you can follow it from your pod. To do this:
1. Select the channel you want to follow. The channel details page opens.
2. Select the {guilabel}`Subscribe` button. The label changes to {guilabel}`Subscribed`.
That's it! You've subscribed to the channel. You can see the channel in the {guilabel}`Channels` page.
## Follow a remote channel
To follow a channel located on another pod, you need its **Federation handle**. A **Federation handle** uses the following format: `@{username}@{domain}`. Once you have the channel's **Federation handle**, you can follow it from the {guilabel}`Channels` page. To do this:
::::{tab-set}
:::{tab-item} Desktop
:sync: desktop
1. Select {guilabel}`Channels` in the sidebar. The {guilabel}`Channels` page opens.
2. Select {guilabel}`+ Add new` at the top of the page. The {guilabel}`Subscriptions` screen appears.
3. Select {guilabel}`Fediverse`.
4. Enter the channel's **Federation handle** in the {guilabel}`Fediverse object` input.
5. Select {guilabel}`Subscribe`. The channel details page appears.
6. Select the {guilabel}`Subscribe}` button. The label changes to {guilabel}`Subscribed`.

## Follow a Funkwhale podcast with a podcatcher
You can follow podcasts published in channels using a standard podcatcher. To do this:
1. Select the channel you want to follow. The channel details page opens.
2. Select the feed button ({fa}`feed`). The {guilabel}`Subscribe to this channel` window appears.
3. Select {guilabel}`Copy` under the {guilabel}`Subscribe via RSS` to copy the channel's {abbr}`RSS (Really Simple Syndication)` feed URL.
4. Paste the URL in your podcatcher.
That's it! Your podcatcher fetches the podcast details from Funkwhale.
