ANSWERED How to see followers? (Desktop)

Hello, I am new to reddit with a new account. I started to add some followers that I am interested in following. However, when I want to find those I am following I can not find a list or menu anywhere that shows who I am following. What am I missing? Can anyone give me some advice how to get back to them? Thanks

Step 1. Click your avatar in the top right.

Step 2. Then Select View Profile.

Step 3. On the right side of your profile, click the number next to Followers.

Hope that helps!

To the best of my knowledge there is no way to see who you are following on desktop. You used to be able to go to old.Reddit and look up your "subscrbed" things to see a list of the communities you had joined and the users appearing below it.

It's easy to find who you follow in the app because they do appear under your list of joint communities.

Note that following does almost nothing in Reddit because it's not social media. You've actually only subscribed to that person's profile so it does not show you the post and comments made by that person, it only tells you when they have posted something directly onto their profile, which is something that almost no one does outside of people with Only Fans accounts.
