How can one see others on one's story?

By paying attention to the descriptions and interactions the author provides. The way characters are introduced and their relationships are depicted can give you a sense of who the others are.

It depends on the specific platform you're using. For example, on Instagram, you might find the list of viewers under the story itself. But on other apps, the process could be different. Usually, it's somewhere in the options related to the story.

Perhaps they haven't been online at the time the story was posted, or they just haven't scrolled through their feed to come across it.

Often, online bookstores or reading platforms offer previews. Just look for a 'Preview' or 'Sample' button. Also, some authors share snippets on their blogs or newsletters.

From a one-story building, your view could be limited. Usually, you could see up to about a mile or so if there are no major obstacles in the way and the weather is clear.

Well, it varies by the specific platform. Some show you a count of views along with maybe some profile pictures of the viewers. Others might have a more detailed section where you can see exactly who and when they saw your story.

You might be able to see others on the story by looking for features like a 'View Others' button or a sidebar listing participants.

You might consider wearing headphones and keeping the volume low to avoid drawing attention. And if you're streaming, choose a platform that doesn't send notifications to others.

You can set privacy settings. Usually, in the platform where you post your story, there's an option to make it visible only to certain people or keep it private altogether.

You could do it late at night when everyone's asleep. That way, they won't catch you.
