Follow button

Hello. I’m trying to increase followers on my blog ‘thepoopscoopblog.wordpress.com’. The follow button only appears on the desktop version. My audience can’t find it on their mobile device. What am I doing wrong?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Independent Publisher is a responsive layout theme, adjusting its layout to accommodate various devices and screen sizes automatically.
The mobile ready theme is a default theme and a completely different theme that you do not need to enable, if your theme is listed as a responsive layout theme here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout/
The mobile default theme is provided for those who run older themes that aren’t the gold standard which is responsive layout.
A responsive layout theme adapts to different screen sizes so that your website will work (and be optimized for) iPhones, iPads, Android and other mobile devices. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading.
When we use a responsive theme we disable the mobile theme. Go to > Dashboard > Appearance > Mobile and disable the mobile theme

*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of your blog in that URL.
