Something fishy with for /user/follow - fails but with HTTP 200 about docs HOT 5 CLOSED

Notice? It says followed=false.

This is most likely just a race condition on our side, i.e. the record being saved to indicate you now follow that blog is written a microsecond after we query to see if you're following that blog when we render that JSON. We can fix it on our side. 👍 Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

I'm totally happy to help getting Tumblr better :) but unfortunately that user is still not followed even now after a day (just checked on my dash), so there must be more to it - the query happened like you said, yet the operation still failed for some hidden reason.

@cyle could it rather be the 200 follows/day quota being applied?

This is possible, though the Tumblr API should be throwing a 4xx status code (most likely 403 Forbidden) at you in that case, not a 200 OK. I'll update this with more info when we've figured it out. 👌

Sorry for not getting to this much sooner -- the issue should be resolved now, followed should be true in the response after a successful follow.
