How to See Posts From Specific People on LinkedIn

If you follow industry experts, customers, or colleagues on LinkedIn, you have probably asked a simple question: why can’t I reliably see the posts I care about? The answer is that following and monitoring are different activities. Here is a practical way to approach the problem.

Why the LinkedIn home feed is not a complete follow list

Following someone does not guarantee every post will appear in your home feed. LinkedIn ranks and selects updates, and your feed can include recommendations, ads, and content from outside your immediate network. If you are trying to follow a small group of customers, analysts, executives, or colleagues, that makes the home feed a poor substitute for a reliable watchlist.

Option 1: Visit the person’s activity page

Open the person’s LinkedIn profile and look for their activity or posts. This is the most direct way to check what a specific person has published. It works well for one or two people, but repeated manual checks become time-consuming as the list grows. Depending on the profile and your access, visibility may vary.

Option 2: Follow and adjust your feed habits

Follow the relevant person and engage thoughtfully with posts you value. This may help LinkedIn understand your interests, but it does not create a guaranteed, chronological feed of every post from a chosen list. Treat the home feed as discovery, not as a complete monitoring record.

Option 3: Organise people into a dedicated custom feed

A custom feed starts with a deliberate list of people, rather than the platform’s general recommendation system. For example, a product marketer might create “FinTech Analysts”, “Customer Executives”, and “Partner Leaders” feeds. The aim is to review updates from each group in one place without constantly visiting individual profiles.

How LIMA fits

LIMA lets you build feeds from selected LinkedIn people and companies, browse the posts collected for those feeds, and receive daily evening briefs plus a weekly movement report every Monday. It is designed for monitoring selected sources; it does not replace or reconfigure LinkedIn’s native home feed.

A practical setup for a B2B team

Start with 10–15 people whose updates influence your work. Separate customers from competitors and industry voices. Review the first few days of posts and remove sources that generate noise. Use the daily brief to spot items worth opening and the weekly report to identify themes. Keep a short list of actions: share with sales, follow up with an account, or investigate a market development.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make LinkedIn show only posts from people I follow?

Not reliably through the standard home feed. You can follow people and visit their activity pages, or use a separate curated monitoring feed.

Does following someone mean I will see every post?

No. Following affects your relationship to an account but does not guarantee that all posts appear in the home feed.

Can I create separate LinkedIn feeds for different groups of people?

Yes. A dedicated monitoring product such as LIMA can organise selected people and companies into separate feeds.
