@FediTips i had this kind of twice yet but noticed that i follow those accounts without ever having seen them before. my bad or is there any explanation you can think of?

It's possible that you followed the account when it was on another server, then it moved servers and decided to use a new name on the new server?

Another possibility is an accidental click or tap? There is no confirmation required for follows so people sometimes follow accounts accidentally when browsing.

@FediTips hm. not really. i am pretty sure i had never heard of those accounts before. and it were no accounts at all that were in the slightest way up my alley. unless they moved servers and changed their name and complete topics and everything. anyway. thank you though. it hasn't happened again so far lately. so all pretty good here. my admin is doing a great job. and so are you. thank you for that.

It doesn't have to be something you considered following, it can be totally without you noticing. There are usually "follow" buttons next to accounts in search results, so accidental taps while scrolling search results can cause accidental follows.

I'm not saying you have done this, I'm just saying it is worth checking if this is the cause. If this is the cause, the only way to fix it is to unfollow. 🙂
