Why Blogger Followers Don’t See Your Posts (and How to Fix It)

One of the most common frustrations bloggers face is when readers say, “I follow your blog, but I don’t see your new posts in my feed!”

Recently, one of my international fellow bloggers, Ananka from Scotland, kindly left me a comment saying that even though she had followed my blog, my posts weren’t showing up in her Blogger Reading List. A few weeks earlier, another reader from Poland had the same problem. Interestingly, readers from other countries like Indonesia, the U.S., or Asia never complained about this.

So, what’s going on? Let’s talk about the possible reasons and some simple fixes you (or your readers) can try.

Possible Causes

1. Feed Settings in Blogger First, the issue could be on my side as the blog owner. Blogger has a section in the dashboard called Settings → Site feed. If the option Allow Blog Feed is set to None, then new posts will not appear in the feeds of followers. To make sure everyone sees updates, it should be set to Full (or at least Until Jump Break). 👉 So, as a blog owner, it’s always good to double-check this setting.

2. Reader’s Blogger Account Sync
Sometimes, the problem doesn’t come from the blog at all. Blogger itself may delay or fail to update a reader’s feed due to syncing issues in their account. This can happen if they have too many blogs followed, or if their Blogger Reading List hasn’t refreshed properly. ✅ The fix is simple: ask the reader to unfollow your blog and then follow it again. This refreshes the connection and usually brings the posts back into the feed.

3. Feed URL Issue
Every Blogger site has a feed link. For my blog, it looks like this: 👉 https://simplyasep.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default This is the default RSS/Atom feed. If this link doesn’t work correctly or the reader is using an old link, then updates won’t appear. Anyone can test the feed by simply opening it in a browser or feed reader. If it shows the latest posts, then the feed is fine.

4. HTTPS Redirects
Blogger now automatically uses HTTPS for all blogs. However, if a reader followed your blog years ago when it was still using http://, their feed reader may still be pointing to the outdated version.

This can create a small “disconnect,” making new posts invisible.

Again, the best solution is to unfollow and re-follow the blog so the feed updates with the correct HTTPS link.


5. Third-Party Reader Limits
Not every follower uses Blogger’s built-in Reading List. Some prefer third-party apps like Feedly, Inoreader, or other RSS readers.

The problem? Many of these apps cache feeds, meaning they don’t always refresh instantly. If the cache is slow or stuck, readers may think posts are missing even when they are actually published.

So, if a follower is using an outside reader, the issue may not be Blogger at all, but the app they are using.

6. Regional Caching
This one is rare but possible. Blogger’s servers sometimes cache content differently depending on the reader’s location. For example, a follower in Poland or Scotland might see posts a little later than someone in Indonesia or the U.S. This delay can make it seem like the blog isn’t updating, when in fact the system is just slow in that region.


Quick Fixes to Try
If you are a blogger experiencing the same issue with your readers, here are some quick and practical tips: 

1. Check Your Feed Settings Make sure Allow Blog Feed is not set to None. Choose Full or at least Until Jump Break so your readers get updates. 

2. Share Your Direct Feed Link Don’t rely only on the “Follow” button. Give your readers the direct feed URL: 👉 https://simplyasep.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default They can manually add it to their feed reader if needed. 

3. Ask Readers to Refresh Suggest that readers unfollow and follow again. This works most of the time, especially if they originally followed using an old http:// link. 

4. Encourage Different Feed Readers If the Blogger Reading List isn’t working, readers can try another app like Feedly. This ensures they won’t miss any posts. 

5. Be Patient with Regional Delays If only one or two readers are affected while others have no issue, the problem could simply be regional caching. Usually, this clears up on its own.

My Own Experience
As a blogger, I found it interesting that most of my readers around the world whether from Asia, America, or Africa never complained about missing posts. But in some rare cases, like Ananka from Scotland or a reader from Poland, the issue came up.

This shows that sometimes the problem isn’t with the blog itself but with the reader’s account, settings, or app. Still, it’s always good to check from our side to make sure we haven’t accidentally disabled the feed.


Summary
Blogging is about connection, and we want our readers to enjoy our updates without hassle. If a reader can’t see your posts in their feed, don’t panic—it’s usually a simple fix.

• Check your feed settings.

• Share the direct feed URL.

• Suggest readers unfollow/refollow.

By keeping things simple and friendly, you can help your readers stay connected and never miss your latest updates.
