follower
One who trails
A follower is someone who follows—trailing behind a leader, subscribing to a belief system, or tracking someone's posts on social media: She has two million followers on Instagram.
A follower of a religion or philosophy accepts its teachings: followers of Buddhism.
The word often implies subordination or lack of originality: He's a follower, not a leader.
