Can I define pre-selected filters?

Yes, the following link functionalities are possible:

Lean page

With filter-panel opened

  • https://follow.it/[name of the feed]?action=followPub&filter - no pre-selected filters
  • https://follow.it/[name of the feed]?action=followPub&filter&keywords - keyword filter selected

Important: you can write the name of the author/tag as it is, including spaces and special characters. As soon as you visit the URL in the browser, it will automatically be decoded and made url-friendly. You can then copy the URL from your browser and use that as the feed follow link. Also, URLs are case sensitive so mind your capitalization.
