## Definitions

### `com.getorbyt.graph.follow`

**Type**: `record`

An Orbyt follow, independent of any follow on a connected network. Clients write it under the record key derived from `subject` (base32 of its SHA-256, 24 characters, as community.membership does), so importing the same follow from two clients writes one record. The service accepts any key and keeps one follow per pair.

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
| `subject` | `string` (did) | Yes |  |
| `via` | `string` | No | `networkImport` marks a follow created from the account's network follows. Deleting one records that the account does not want it re-imported. |
