+# Contributions calendar **(FREE)**
+
+The contributions calendar displays a [user's events](#user-contribution-events) from the past 12 months.
+This includes contributions made in forked and [private](#show-private-contributions-on-your-user-profile-page) repositories.
+

+
+The gradient color of the tiles represents the number of contributions made per day. The gradient ranges from blank (0 contributions) to dark blue (more than 30 contributions).
+
+NOTE:
+The contribution calendar only displays contributions from the last 12 months, but issue [24264](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/24264) proposes to change this to more than 12 months. General improvements to the user profile are proposed in issue [8488](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8488).

+## User activity
+
+### Follow a user's activity
+
+You can follow users whose activity you're interested in.
+In [GitLab 15.5 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/360755),
+the maximum number of users you can follow is 300.
+
+To follow a user, either:
+
+- From a user's profile, select **Follow**.
+- Hover over a user's name, and select **Follow** ([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/76050)
+  in GitLab 15.0).
+
+To view the activity of users you follow:
+
+1. In the GitLab menu, select **Activity**.
+1. Select the **Followed users** tab.
+
+### Retrieve user activity as a feed
+
+GitLab provides RSS feeds of user activity. To subscribe to the
+RSS feed of a user's activity:
+
+1. Go to the [user's profile](index.md#access-your-user-profile).
+1. In the top right, select the feed symbol **{rss}** to display the results as an RSS feed in Atom format.
+
+The URL of the result contains both a feed token, and
+the user's activity that you're authorized to view.
+You can add this URL to your feed reader.
+
+### Reset the user activity feed token
+
+Feed tokens are sensitive and can reveal information from confidential issues.
+If you think your feed token has been exposed, you should reset it.
+
+To reset your feed token:
+
+1. On the top bar, in the top right corner, select your avatar.
+1. Select **Edit profile**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Access Tokens**.

+   **reset this token** link.
+1. On the confirmation box, select **OK**.
+
+A new token is generated.
