MUTUALLENS GUIDES
Prepare the files.
Read the result carefully.
Start with the task in front of you. These guides explain what the local checker accepts, how its relationship groups are calculated, and where the evidence stops.
EXPORT PREPARATION
Prepare your relationship files
Use official export controls, keep both directions and include every available split part.
TROUBLESHOOTINGResolve missing or unclear files
Work through missing directions, ambiguous loose files, nested ZIPs, unsupported archives and qualified results.
TERMINOLOGYFollowers, following and mutuals
See how two fictional lists become three relationship groups, without turning a difference into a judgment.
SNAPSHOTSRead changes between saved reports
Learn which dates and account labels make snapshots compatible, and what an observed change can and cannot prove.
INTERPRETATIONSeparate a result from an unfollow
“Not following back” describes one comparison. “Unfollowed” requires compatible observations over time.
