# Build a watchlist that fires

> Who is actually worth a slot, and how to tell after two weeks.

The most common reason XHuntr feels quiet is not the bot — it is a list of accounts that never touch communities. This guide is how to build one that actually produces signal.

## The principle

XHuntr watches **community behaviour**, not posting. An account can tweet forty times a day and generate zero alerts. What you want are accounts whose *actions* precede a token.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Worth a slot" icon="circle-check">
    Devs who spin up a community before launching. Serial launchers. KOLs whose joins reliably front-run a push. Small accounts that keep showing up early.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Waste of a slot" icon="circle-xmark">
    Celebrities and mainstream accounts. Pure commentators who never join anything. Huge accounts already in hundreds of communities, where one more is meaningless.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Step one: seed from what you already know

Start with accounts you have personally watched call something early. Add them in one shot:

```text theme={null}
somedev, anotherdev, thatkol, serialauncher
```

<Tip>
  Use **🏆 Top** (`/top`, Yearly plans) to see the accounts producing the most activity across the whole XHuntr userbase. It is the fastest shortcut to a list that fires, because it is measured rather than guessed.
</Tip>

## Step two: vet before you commit

Before spending a slot, spy the account — it costs nothing:

```text theme={null}
/communities somedev
```

What you want to see:

| Signal                               | Reading                            |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| **Owner** of one or more communities | They build, not just join. Strong. |
| A handful of recent communities      | Actively moving. Strong.           |
| Member of 200 communities            | Every join is noise. Weak.         |
| No communities at all                | Nothing to detect. Skip.           |

## Step three: get to two, then past it

[🔀 Convergence](/alerts/types) cannot fire until you track **two** accounts, and it gets sharper the more you track from the same scene.

Tracking ten accounts from one niche beats ten unrelated famous accounts — convergence only means something when the accounts share a world.

## Step four: prune after two weeks

After a couple of weeks, check `/history`. Accounts that produced nothing while others produced repeatedly are costing you a slot.

<Warning>
  Removing an account discards its baseline. If you re-add later, you get a fresh snapshot and hear nothing about the gap. Prune accounts you have genuinely lost interest in, not ones you are unsure about.
</Warning>

## Step five: turn the noise down

Once the list is right, tune what it sends. Switch off 📌 Pin change first, then 👀 Joined if it is still too much. Keep 🚀 Launch and 🚨 Created on — those two are the product.
