Show your post /user followers as hyperlink.design does with the upvoters and the user profiles.
In your post type, create a post relation “Followers” with the Custom Relation Key “post-relation-followers”, that is related to “profiles” post type and that is of Relation Type “Belongs to many”.
In your “Profiles” post type, create a post relation “Followers” with the Custom Relation Key “user-relation-followers”, that is related to “profiles” post type and that is of Relation Type “Belongs to many”.
Now go to “Filtering” and add a Post relation filter with the label “Followers” and the data source ” Followers”.
For “profiles” post type, create a post relation “Following” with the Custom Relation Key “post-relation-followers”, that is related to “your desired post types” and that is of Relation Type “Has many”.
Now go to “Filtering” and add a Post relation filter with the label “Following” and the data source ” Following”.
Create a preview card for your profiles (Ex: that only contains the avatar / name).
In any of your post type single post template, add the Post Feed (VX) widget connected to the Search Form (VX ) that has the filter “Following” with “Add default value” checked, and a default value that is the post id.
On search form reset, let it have the default value and optionally, hide the filter so that we will see only the followers preview cards.

This code goes in your functions.php

Your guide is set up to show followers of CPTs, is there a way to do the same for profiles? So, when a user follower another user (on their profile) then they are displayed on that users profile as a follower?
