You're referring to the inleo user inteface shows that you're not following people that you know you're actually following. I've noticed that too.
As far as I know, Follows are recorded to the layer 1, so even if it's showing as not following, you actually are. In other words, you don't need to follow again and again.
I'm sure this will be addressed soon, but just to be sure it's picked up, I'll tag with #feedback and #bug in this thread.
Okay, thanks for letting me know.
So it's something related to the user interface.
