What people are already tracking

Real Estate & Housing
“Alert me when a 2-bedroom apartment becomes available in Williamsburg or Bushwick, Brooklyn, under $3,200/month, with parking.”
Anchor on the specific area — country-level filtering cannot express a neighbourhood.

Three of these are never public
dating, bereavement and medical fundraiser alert conditions are never listed in Explore and never shown to somebody browsing without an account, whatever the setting says — the description alone can identify the person it is about, and it does so exactly in the situations where that matters most.
They match and notify like any other alert condition. They just never become something a stranger can go looking for.
