I don’t know whether people think this is a good or bad thing to do, but I follow each of my fediverse accounts from all of my other fediverse accounts. Like, I follow my Pixelfed account from my WAFRN account and vice versa, etc etc. Not trying to inflate my followers count at all, I wish it wouldn’t, but just to avoid this very problem. So unless it’s breaking some kind of fedi norm, I’d suggest to do that.
