  Hello,

  My name is Alex and I noticed that lately I can no longer use the option to follow other wordpress users and implicitly their blogs. Does anyone know what the reason is?

  Thanks!

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

  Hi @contemporaryestablishment,

  Can you please share the URL of the site(s) that you’re trying to follow?

  Screenshots of the error message are also helpful, and here’s how you can take one: https://wordpress.com/support/make-a-screenshot/

  You can upload the screenshot to https://snipboard.io/ and then share the link in your reply.

  I look forward to hearing from you.

  Ok, we do have a system in place to prevent bot-like activity of excessive sequential follows.

  It appears you have hit that limit, so please refrain from attempting to follow for a few days, and that should clear up.

  We cannot release specific details on this.
