Are there invisible players on Sololearn?

Question

I follow everyone who follows me. Also I follow the Sololearn account. So the following number should be followers +1 but it isn't. The numbers are always equal. I couldn't find the extra follower and I didn't unfollow anyone. Is there someone I can't see?

Answer 1

©ode® try this one please

Answer 2

You don't follow someone named Marv

Answer 3

©ode® so that was just an experiment. Now I understand.

Answer 4

And I will go with Jayakrishna🇮🇳, because the following keeps counting forward immediately I followed you with that other account. Dual Core

Answer 5

You may not but other can unfollow who followed you before.

Answer 6

I am sometimes invisible when looking through the question post branches here

Answer 7

Dual Core Okay.

I'm also confused. I went through your following and followers you have
*107* Followers
*108* Following.

So, probably it is maybe the blocking thing. Maybe there are accounts that blocked you and so, you wouldn't see them but they will still be counted among your Followers or among those who you are following

(I'm not really sure about any of that yet tho... )

Edit: I don't think it is the blocking thing..

Answer 8

So, let's do some check-ups, I will follow you up with another account, block you and we will see if it is what we think it is.

Answer 9

Oh. Dont think much about those.. it may be bug .. i only following 2 but count is 3 ...
Sololearn also countable...

edit : Dual Core
Once 1 account is accidentally automatically added to following. then i unfollowed but its not decreased in count.
then Sololearn going on with lot of update testings.. so its a bug only i think....

Answer 10

Dual Core , so according to you, the number of accounts you are following should be one plus the number of your followers (assuming no blockers etc.) because the SL account does not follow you back (another assumption).

But isn't that exactly what ©ode® found? I.e. 108 = 107 +1

So I don't see the problem here....

Answer 11

Ярослав Вернигора(Yaroslav Vernigora) how are you invisible? 😀 Isn't everyone 'invisible' until they post something?

Answer 12

by the way, I think the difference is due to Sololearn account, wich is not a real account: you could follow him (by default), unfollow him, but he cannot be counted as a follower ;P

Answer 13

Alex Actually, that account was used to check what is wrong with his account by following him and also blocking him.

Answer 14

Is SoloLearn following you?

Answer 15

Alex Yeah 😀

Answer 16

users who decide to block someone becomes invisible to him (and reciprocally)...

you could unblock someone at anytime, but you couldn't unblock you from other account ^^
