I just checked my dashboard and noticed that one of my pieces, the original version of The Wifwolves of the Plains Pack, was put in 2 collections. However, I was unable to see which two collections they were in or who put them in there. I just wanted to see if who put the story in the collections and if they liked it or not.
Is this a privacy issue? If it is, I didn't mean to invade anyone's privacy or violate it. I was just curious. I mean no malice in this whatsoever.
People can choose to make their collections public, and you can see when your work is in those ones. But yeah, private is private.
Funnily enough, you can sometimes glean information by the URLs people got to your page from. (You still can't click through and see the collection, though.) I know that at least one of my asset packs is in a collection titled Competitor, even if I will never know who my rival is.
Collections are also itch links, yeah. But they'll only show in your referrals if someone actually clicked through to your page through the collection, which isn't super common, especially in a private collection. I wouldn't worry about it, it's just funny trivia.
It's also worth noting that people don't need to actually own or play your game to add your stuff to a collection.
