Is there any way to stop certain types of my actions from showing up in my follower's feeds?

I just found out that, when I rate or comment on a game, it shows up in my feed to anyone who follows me.

Since I make, release, and update games, I would prefer that my followers only get feed entries about me when I create a Devlog or create a new game project, that sort of thing.

The only way that I can figure out so far to stop my followers from being alerted when I rate a game, it to NOT rate any games on this account (perhaps creating a second account to rate games with, manage personal collections, and comment on others’ games). This seems inconvenient, and, more likely, I would simply stop doing all of these things (rating, commenting, etc.) rather than log out and log into a separate account for them.

I’m not concerned to have activity be private, I just don’t want it to show up in my followers’ feeds.

Is there a way to choose which of your actions show up in your followers’ feeds?

Thank you! :)

We only have one global option to disable public activity on your account from creating events for your followers, we don’t have granular options at this time: https://itch.io/user/settings/privacy

Comments do not create events for followers feeds, but writing a review does.

Thank you! That’s good to know about comments not creating events; I was wrong, of course, I was looking someplace else.

It would be nice to have more granular options for creating feed events for followers. Thank you for pointing out the global option! I hadn’t found that yet. :)
