Following & Followers

Following & Followers tells you the amount of people that you are following & how many people are following you.

Following
You can follow up to 1000 other Miiverse users. Following a user lets you see his or her activity, notifies them that you followed him or her, & it is potentially a way of making friendships etc. You cannot follow a user if you or the latter blocked eachother.

Followers
Followers are people that follow what you are doing via Miiverse, supporters, & users that you potentially really get along with. Followers have the ability to unfollow people at any time. Unlike following there is no limit for your amount of followers unless if Miiverse cannot really count so far.
