  Hi @angelicexperiences876352157.

  When you log in to WordPress.com you are automatically taken to a screen called the Reader. This screen shows posts from sites that you follow as well as well as some that WordPress thinks you might be interested in (like the Longreads article). The first post in my reader is from the Longreads blog as well:

  

  If you want to learn more about the Reader you can check out the Reader support page.

  You can check your followers at any time using the following link:
  https://wordpress.com/people/followers/

  Let us know if you are seeing any followers using the link above that shouldn’t be there and we can take a look. Assuming all looks well with your followers you are ready to write your first post!

  If you have any more questions let us know – we’re happy to help. :)

  I wanted to add that if you would rather not see the Longreads posts in your Reader, you can remove them by clicking on “Manage” in the sidebar next to Followed Sites (or use this link).

  Clicking on the green “following” text next to the sites you don’t want to see will remove them from your Reader.
