I think some clients are slow to respond to follow/unfollow. In my experience when I’ve tried to follow someone on primal, it looks like it didn’t work, so I click again and end up unfollowing. A third tap then re-follows.

Yea, it’s probably that. Also, sometimes I’ll open someone’s profile and it says I don’t follow them, even though I know I do. But then if I wait a couple seconds it updates and the follow button changes showing that I follow them. If I tapped the button too quickly thinking I wasn’t following them then I guess they’d get those notifications as I unfollowed and refollowed them. Lol. I’d just rather not see the notifications at all.
