Hey Bruno P., thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- What do you think would be an appropriate limit for the number of people a user can follow?
- Can you provide examples of how this issue has negatively impacted your experience on Phaver?
- Do you have any suggestions on how we could discourage users from following others just to increase their own follower count?

Saska 🐨: Hi Saska,
Thank you for your quick reply.
1) This is a difficult question, Instagram limits at 7500 follows but IG has much more users, I think X limits at 5000 than you have to contact them so you can follow more (I am not sure about this number) But I think 1000 follows is enough, nobody can see all the posts from 1000 people daily.
2) For me personally the only way it can affect is that if there is a contenst that the winners are chosen by the number of likes. But for the project, I think it can affect the quality of the posts and also, a lot of users are getting lots of points because they get stake from ther thousands of followers
3) Maybe give a bonus point for people that has a 1:10 (or more) follow / followers Ratio
Please let me know if I can help you with any other question, I would love to help Phaver, it is a great project
Of course I am not saying I am right, it is just my point of view here
Keep Phavering

Bruno P.: Good stuff!!
We already limit the # of Lens follows but this is definitely something we need to do also on Phaver level.
Dropping you some phaver points as a thank you! 🪂
