Currently, the limit can be increased up to 2000 by contacting customer support. This is definitelly not sufficient.

My use case is: I want to sync more than 5,000 contacts out of 200,000 using lightning sync. These contacts are not owned by me - they are owned by many other users. There is no common filter criteria I can use that would precisely identify them. The only flexible enough option would be to use "contacts that I follow" option but the limit of how many I can follow is very restrictive.
Another issue with the limit is that, if I follow the maximum number of contact records just to have them synced in my Outlook, I would not be able to follow anything else.

The limit is very prohibitive and a major blocker for rolling out lightning sync for outlook as a replacement to the legacy Salesforce for Outlook desktop agent in my org.

Please relax the limit further or optimize the solution so there is no need for such restrictions.

Need to be able to go beyond 2000 as well, especially since Lightning sync for contacts can be keyed off Follows. Our users want to sync more then 2000 contacts to outlook. also second the idea of mass follow unfollow, as well as reporting that shows who you follow. We've had to build those features ourselves custom

Hi there, increasing le limit wil allow us to follow the records that change rarely. As those records do not change often, the chatter notification averge volume will not incerase. However, users will be sure to not miss any up-date.

Sabir: this idea is NOT delivered since the limit is well below what is reasonably required. Even at a limit of 2,000 records, this effectively blocks adoption of Chatter in our organization.

Hi SFDC,

Please mark this Idea as delivered because we can increase the limit as high as 2,000 by making a request with Salesforce Customer Support.

Increase limit on the number of Records or Users that you can follow in Chatter

Yes, we are rated on results and have a large number of companies to track. For us to be limited by this current count is a critical issue since many other activities, working with more than one contact in a firm is considered another "count". The current limit we have is not helping us with productivity or results.

Current numbers are too small. Need at least 5k as a reasonable number.

5,000 would be a reasonable number. Plus a way to audit/report what a user is following.
