  Is there a way to export followers from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress website? Maybe via the Jetpack plugin?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes. Staff require you to install and activate Jetpack. Then provide both the .wordpress.com URL and the WordPress.org URL. Then they can transfer your subscribers for you.

  That is actually not the site I need help with, lol. I was just required to put in a blog url to post.

  Yes we do require URLs because on some days about 30% of those who post to these forums ought to be posting to WordPress.ORG support forums instead.

  Ok, I see. It would need to be done by the staff. Explains why I haven’t been able to find a way to do it on my own.

  Thank you very much for answering. :-)
