i don’t really have an issue with it, i’m just genuinely curious. i’m not sure if it’s every discussion, i’ve just been noticing that new discussions automatically start with a decent amount of followers and i’m wondering if it’s a glitch, or if like, the followers of the creator automatically follow the chat. just curious ig

Yep, in your forum settings (accessed by clicking "Settings" in the top-right of any forums page), you can choose to follow all new topics and/or all new topics in specific boards. Any time you see followers immediately after creating a thread, it's usually those people who are auto-following at the start.
