I was having this problem too, kept clicking follow and the site would reload with no changes. Just fixed it by disabling cache in developer tools in Edge, should work for Chrome too.
Go to the title page of what you want to follow. Hit F12 on your keyboard, then go to the Network tab and then you should see a check box for "disable cache". Tick it and then try to follow.
Or just clear your cache completely if you don't mind retyping your passwords. That's easier probably.
