Refollow everyone on LinkedIn?

June 7, 2022 5:01 AM

I used the "Hard Unfollow" technique here using Console view to stop following everyone on LinkedIn. It worked great, and I had six months of glorious silence. But now, for a new job, I need to re-follow everyone again. Can anyone figure out how to undo what I did?

Who do you want to re-follow? If it's "everyone I was following before I ran that script" that might not be possible - I don't think LinkedIn keeps a user-visible list of "everyone you were following on 11/20/2021".

It would be pretty easy to write a script to follow all of your connections and contacts, but I don't know that that's what you're looking for. It would also be possible to alter the existing "hard unfollow" script to output a list of all the accounts you unfollow so that you could re-follow them later if you want, but that doesn't help you today.

If it's everyone in your contacts or connections, that would be a pretty easy script to write but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking.

Response by poster: No, you got it, mskyle! I'd like to go back to the default of following all my connections and contacts. (I'll probably unfollow some people after that, but will just do that manually if/when they start to annoy me.) So, yes, I guess I need the whatever that "pretty easy script to write" is.
