Migrating subscribers
-
My WordPress.com blog, dollybikeusa.wordpress.com, listed ~330 followers before I followed your instructions (https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/) to migrate them to my new self-hosted WordPress site, dollybike.com. Now the WordPress.com site has ~270 followers and my new site has ~70. Is there a way to get those 270 over to my new site?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Be aware that the number WordPress.COM followers reflected at this link https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers (includes Publicize ie. social network followers). The number here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email is your email only subscribers.

Hi @dollybike,
I suspect Timethief is spot on with the issue here. The WordPress.com subscriber count includes followers connected through Publicize. It looks like you have 270ish followers on Facebook. Combined with the 70 followers you transferred, that would make up the 330. Does that help to clarify?
