With the huge wave of migrations we're seeing:

You might want to give a day or two to your new follows/follow requests before deciding that it's just an empty profile.

The migration process can take a day, people might not do it in the exact right way, etc.

Lots of "empty profiles" get filled the next day! Don't lose your old connections! 😊

@stephanie thanks! I have never understood why this is. Do you know?

I do not allow new followers when they have empty profiles due to past experience with spammers. Now I fear maybe I have been blocking legitimate accounts. 😬

@scott @stephanie It depends on how you move. I usually open a new account and manually transfer instead of doing an official move. I like the decluttering this way.
