  So I have recently started owning a wordpress.org website (hosted by BlueHost) and was surprised today…
  I thought I would loose all my followers having moved to WP.org but when I started posting new articles on my website (http://thoughts-and-quotes.com/), my WP.om subscribers started suddenly commenting (which means they probably got notified)….whats up with that?
  I feel like I don’t get something, anyone can explain in a few words please?
  Cheers!

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

  It is possible to migrate followers and subscribers to a self-hosted site through the use of Jetpack. The process is described here:

  Could you or someone connected to your site or host have done this for you?

  I don’t know :)
  I just have hosted my website through BlueLink , installed Jetpack (with bunch of features) and as soon as I started posting, comments started coming

  I suspect that is what happened then.

  I don’t think there is any harm in running the follower migration tool again thought, just to be double sure.
