An "active followers" count would be more informative. Like, only people who have been active within the past 3 months, or something.

Number of lurkers doesn't really say much, as anyone can view our notes without loggin in, over the Internet. And, if I could have an active-follower list, I'd be inclined to peruse it, to see if anyone interesting is in there. They're following me, right? So, they might be pretty cool, right? 🤔

Yes it would be nice for the follower list to provide more value than just an ego boosting number.

yep. 1000s of followers doesn't matter if they don't interact or aren't even here anymore.

though, i used to log into instagram once every month or so and like a bunch of my sister's posts—she always loves that. :3
