Hi,

This web part is Followed Counts web part, available in SharePoint 2013 My Site News Feeds.

If you want to show the same message in normal site like team site home page, I would suggest you to custom a web part, that retrieve the following count of current login user.

To retrieve this information, you can use SPSocialFollowingManager class, which provides methods for managing a users list of followed actors (users, documents, sites, and tags), more information:

There may be an easier solution than the other response. If the web part is visible on your news feed page, edit the page and go to the web part settings. Click "Export" and save the web part to your computer. Go back to your welcome page or whatever page you are trying to add the web part to, click "Add a web part", "Upload a web part", and upload the file you downloaded. It should now appear under "Imported Web Parts" and you can add it to your page.

Hello,

Thanks for your post and replies, Donald solution used to work for us until we updated our server with August CU 2015 (SharePoint 2013). Now we are getting the following error:

The "FollowedCountsWebPart" Web Part appears to be causing a problem. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks
