What is the Relationship between Instagram users and user followers

Question

I'm building a blog project, which each user can follow other users. I'm still figuring out the design and creating the diagrams first. I know that the relationship between users and followers is many to many. Is this the correct approach for the ER design of the relationship?

Answer 1

The relationship between Instagram user and follower is many to many because:

One user can have multiple followers. One follower can have multiple "followed users".

Useful: Always name the entities (classes) as singular e.g. User & Follower
