Why is the Juxt follow count always one digit ahead?

I always notice the follower count on a user’s Profile Page is always incorrectly one digit ahead, like in this picture:


You see that GamersInternatio, or Flynn’s follower count is incorrect; he has three followers*, but the count states four.

What is behind this issue? Was this done on accident or on purpose?


* - He should be more followed!

Followers isn’t everything :smile:

I vaguely recall noticing it earlier when @.piplupness was talking about Miiverse followers, I have no clue why it happens.

Then does Jon know the root cause of the problem? I bet he could at least partially figure out the problem because he does have access to the servers, after all!

Of course, I could still be getting something wrong here. To quote Jon…

I’m assuming that, because of what I bolded, that this also applies to the Juxt servers.

In essence, he may not know everything there is in the technical field of this project, and thus the root cause, simply because others (like industry professionals) have substantially contributed to it. I’m not trying to underestimate Jon, though!

What you bolded is irrelevant. The people I mentioned are helping with infrastructure, not actual implementations of things. They do contribute to the servers, but only when they need to change something to work in the new infrastructure. Bugs in the software are caused by issues in the implementations. Infrastructure design is how the servers are deployed, orchestrated, and managed.

I made a Github issue about that. It’s a bug
