How to follow someone on Indie Hackers?
I have not followed anyone in a while, but I remember it being right there on someones profile. But for some reason I cannot see an option to follow a user when I go to their profile now. What am I doing wrong? Or has something changed in terms of how following works on here?

On my end, the follow button is still there. A big orange-pink button that says "Follow". Centered on mobile, on the right on desktop.

That is what I see when I go to your profile. I do not see a follow button. Everything else works and people are able to follow me, but for some reason I cannot seem to follow anyone else. Not sure what is happening.
The page looks broken for you. For me the follow button is still visible in the box on the right, above the follower and point counts.
Have you tried hard reloading (Ctrl + F5)? Maybe a browser plugin that breaks the page for you?
Ahhh, thanks for that.
That totally slipped my mind and I did not expect it on this site. The ad blocker(uBlock Origin) blocks some script that is needed for the follow button to load. Turning off uBlock Origin fixed it. Curious problem.
Thanks for your help solving that problem.
Awesome! Glad you got it fixed.
Still works here with uBlock Origin but maybe we’ve enabled different blocking lists.
You can also hover over someone's name, wait for the popup to appear, and then click "follow" 👍
Thanks for that. But that is also broken.
Looks like they use some sort of tracking script on the Follow button. Which my ad blocker is blocking. So the follow button breaks everywhere.
