Grammatical error on website
Hello Musescore, I think I've found a grammatical error on your website!
Whem you open up the "Dashboard" and click "All Activity" in one of the options instead of saying "Followers," It says "Followees."
I'll show you guys with a screenshot ↓↓↓↓↓

"Followees" is probably not the best wording—it could be "People you follow"—but it absolutely should not be "Followers" (which would be people who are following you!).
It's activity from people you follow. So not followers. If you have a proposal, please comment.

"User's Followers"
In reply to "User's Followers" by Ziya Mete Demircan
Same as just "Followers", and equally wrong. We need the opposite
In reply to Same as just "Followers", and by Jojo-Schmitz
The word "Followers" requires a leader.
You need to indicate the leader.
For yourself, "My Followers"
For Robert, "Robert's Followers".
It is not possible to look at it from the other side.
But there is the opposite. Non-followers. : / (Nonsense of course): D

"Followed users" is a tad more wordy, but removes all doubt.

Good point—it can be understood two ways, just like "Favorites" can refer to https://musescore.com/node/1610271/favorites or https://musescore.com/isaacweiss/favorites.

and on https://musescore.com/isaacweiss it is "Followers" and "Following". So it got to be "Following" elsewhere too, consistency trumps.
