LinkedIn members can have up to 30,000 1st-degree connections. To ensure an optimal experience on LinkedIn, we recommend:
- Connect with people you know personally and trust professionally
- Follow anyone whose posts you want to keep up with, so you always stay informed
While there is a limit to the number of 1st-degree connections you can have, the number of people who can follow you (and who you can follow) is unlimited. People who follow you can view, like, or comment on what you share publicly.
If you have reached 30,000 connections, Follow will become the default option on your profile. You will not be able to accept or send new connection invitations unless you remove connections to keep network size under the limit.
