Describe the bug

Bug: Follower counter on personal projects

Description

When I create a personal project on the site that has 0 followers and follow it, the counter does not increase.
However, if I then unfollow the project, the counter goes down to -1, which should not happen.

Notes

• Tested only on personal projects, not on projects of other users.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a personal project with 0 followers.
2. Follow your own project.
3. Notice the counter remains at 0.
4. Unfollow the project.
5. Notice the counter becomes -1.

Expected behavior

• Following the project should increase the counter to 1.
• Unfollowing should bring it back to 0, never negative.
