These followers are still subscribed to your https://backpackologydotorg.wordpress.com blog though.

I've noticed that all the wordpress.com followers on my old blog have been removed and that my old blog's subscriber count has been reset to zero... I'm not overly smitten with my self-hosted site, and I'm strongly considering transferring back to wordpress.com. Would you be able to recover my subscribers that were deleted? It would make a huge difference in my decision.

Duplicate content is very bad - you don't want to do that - do a few word summery like I suggested above to the old blog

The staff need to manually transfer the subscribers it is not an automatic thing - I have flagged this above for the staff to help you

I already installed Jetpack and everything works great, but none of my subscribers, e-mail or otherwise, made the transfer.

Also, just wondering, is there a plugin that would allow me to automatically sync posts from my new, self-hosted blog onto my old wordpress.com blog? So that new posts get posted in both locations?

Then Staff will transfer your email subscribers for you. Note that followers using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred.

I've recently transferred my blog from wordpress.com (backpackologydotorg.wordpress.com) to wordpress.org (backpackology.org), but none of my subscribers were transferred. I've already tried jetpack, to no avail. Could someone (i.e. a staff member) possibly help me out? I'd appreciate it.

Also, is it possible for my previous wordpress.com subscribers to continue to follow my site now that it's privately hosted? Will they still receive notifications, or will they need to resubscribe via e-mail?

Is there a plugin that allows other wordpress.com users to subscribe to my blog with the same one-click 'Follow' button (instead of inputting an e-mail)?

Thanks for the help, this is all new stuff to me, so I'm a bit confused.

Hope you had a nice weekend,
Steve
