Hey for me, it seems that followers get added automatically but you need to be active on the social bunny and have contacts, but I'm sure posting on simstagram and doing other things to make you sim known will help as well
My Sim has 221 follwers. I get them by checking out the latest trends on Trendi, buying and wearing current trends, selling worn items while still in fashion, making and adding friends, posting daily, tagging friends to posts. However, I have been stuck on 221 for a full sim week, and I need 250. I'm going to try to gain some fame and see if that works.
Ok, now I have 481 followers on Social Bunny. All I did was send my Sim to ThriftTea and design some outfits and introduce themself to a bunch of other Sims at ThriftTea.
The first day I played high school years, my teen sim had lots of friends and participated on social bunny, yet had 0 friends on social bunny. It was like that everyday for a week (in sim life). I usually quit the game when my sims are asleep. When I went to play again, my sim woke up and I opened social bunny and she finally had social bunny friends. I've noticed if I quit the game every night (in sim life), then restart the game they will have more followers every day.
I posted relentlessly and responded to every post with a different bunny emoji - my sim ended up with a little over 3800 when he finally aged up. By that time, I was so over the whole Social Bunny thing that I am glad to give it a rest for a while. The same messages over and over got tedious and monotonous extremely fast. You get your update in the morning but it does not happen every day. My sim was a teen for exactly 3 weeks.
Yeah so my teens are actually getting social bunny followers now but it takes ages for the follower count to go up and when it does go up it tends to jump up in big chunks. So this doesn't seem to be a glitch but it would be nice if you could see your sims gaining the followers more gradually like you can with simstagram/the normal social media on TS4
