Right now when I initiate follows, the easiest way to determine if the user
is already following the individual I'm trying to follow is to just send a
follow request, and get an error back if the user is already following the
individual. However, I'm seeing an issue that might not make this the
I haven't heard that this is happening, and when I make a follow
request multiple times I don't receive duplicate emails - even if I
cancel and resend.
One thing that may help is that you can see the status of a friendship
by calling /users/show on the user you want to check the follow
request
