Getting access to friends libraries

Occasionally I get an invitation from someone to be a friend. I am not sure if I want to be their friend unless they have something to share. My first question is- is there a way to see this person’s content before deciding to become “friends”? Secondly, once I become friends, how do I get access to their library? I am not sure about how to do this.

I searched the FAQs under “friends” and read all 37 topics!!!

Becoming friends on Plex has nothing to do with media sharing.

Media sharing exists separately.

(This used to be different in the past, but nowadays the two things are no longer connected.)

Plex’s media sharing is intended for use with family and close friends. Not with random strangers. https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/features/remote-access-server-sharing/

Plex friendships are a kind of social networking, with the specific focus on movies an series. The titles discussed don’t need to be available on a personal Plex server. https://support.plex.tv/articles/friends/
