  Hi there,

  I checked your site and I see it’s not hosted on WordPress.com. Your domain adellbaker.com points to Siteground. Based on this info, I assume you are WordPress.org user.

  This forum is only dedicated to WordPress.com sites.
  If you’d like to know more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, check the page linked below: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  It could be some browser issue. I would suggest you to clear browser cache.

  If issue exists, try seeking help here :

  Hope this helps!

  I understand that I am a .org account but the issue I have found is when I’m using the WordPress.com reader that is where I am finding the issues.

  @adellbaker
  I’ve flagged this thread for staff assistance. Even I’m curious to know about this strange behaviour.

  Meanwhile please confirm the behaviour after clearing browser cache.

  Just cleared cache and history and still having an issue in the WordPress reader, coming up with the same message.

  @adellbaker hmm, it looks like you were bulk following and unfollowing and that’s causing issues. Can you let us know what you were hoping to do?

  I was just following accounts which I liked and then ones which I no longer wanted to follow but I guess I did it a bit too fast, which triggered the systems.

  Could you lift the block that is on the account as is it causing issues, and it is stopping me from following new accounts that I really like reading, which is a problem.

  How quickly were you following sites?

  Well I would add blogs I thought were interesting in a new tab, I would then scroll down read a few posts and once I had done that I would go through and follow them as I was closing the tabs. I guess I did that a bit too rapidly.

  I see. Well, from this end it looks like you’re following more than a thousand sites already in rapid succession — far too many to keep up with.

  Have you thought about following a tag instead?

  How do tags work? I haven’t even considered these

  You can search for a tag or link to it directly, like this:
  https://wordpress.com/tag/astronomy

  This will let you find content you like if you’ve run out of things to read.
