[FIXED] [GALLERY] Followers & Followed People are gone/ Low Follower cap

Hey, I know you have done a huge update on the gallery, for the ability to stay connected I am very grateful. This is a major improvement. On the other hand, ALL my followers have now gone and I am r...

@TheSimsDirect I assumed that I was still having this issue, but now.... I went on my profile and clicked the friends button and in the pop-up my 'following' tab populated, but the 'followers' tab said '0', so I closed it and assumed it wasn't fixed. However, after seeing your comment I went back in... same thing. It said '0' in the followers tab. I happened pause (briefly... between 3-10 seconds) with the 'followers' tab open, and suddenly followers appeared, and the number changed from '0' to '958'! (Note, as soon as I exit the popup for the 'friends' button, that number is back to '0' when I re-open it.) So... a bit of a whack-a-mole process, but I do see a change. (I have no Mods/CC.)

Also, when your profile is open I believe it used to say right at the top of the profile, without clicking the 'friends' button, the number of followers and downloads. Personally, I would love to see those numbers return to the profile on load, not by opening any buttons or tabs. I'm not sure that people are realizing they can still find the people they follow if they click that button, as I'm experiencing the same thing that @Kulthero777 mentioned... going from multiple daily downloads to barely anything. 

I hope that others here can also find their followers in the tab if they pause and wait for it to populate. 🙌

Edit: Turns out in my game I just need to click the 'Friends' button (I don't have to open 'Followers' tab) then wait 10-15 seconds to see then number populate on the 'Followers' tab (then if I click the followers tab I also see them listed).

@SheriGR @TheSimsDirect  I would not consider this a universal solution, as it is not a matter of our patience being the issue.

The screenshot attached is my Friends list after 45 minutes of being open.  No change, only nine out of 50+ accounts listed, some still remain anonymous.  The missing Friends are not searchable when utilizing the Gallery function to search within followed accounts.  The search only provides hits from the nine mostly-visible accounts, so there is no secret list hidden in the background.  As far as the game is concerned, only nine Friends exist.

In my opinion, if it takes an hour or more for a screen to potentially fix, it is NOT fixed.

    @Ishkerayot I'm sorry for your frustration. I'm not sure if I am completely seeing any of the same dynamics you're describing, but perhaps this is part of what you mean... I can look at those I follow here on the initial area of the 'friends' popup. I know two of the simmers by profile pic that I see as anonymous, and I am confused as to why this is so. One is Simming_Spoonie (or #SimmingSpoonie)... the first one with the profile pic of spoons, and another is @MapleSimmer. When I go to MapleSimmer's profile it states her name as anonymous. This does confuse me. I'm not sure itf it's caused by an error or a setting on her end. I will ask her (or perhaps she will want to post herself). Maybe that example will help clarify something in this instance.
