    This is the meaning on any platform with a follower function where you can choose to subscribe to someone’s posts. [1] A lot of people like having a lot of followers because it means they’re popular online. [2] “Follow-for-follow” is a proposition that if you follow the person messaging you, they’ll follow you back so that you both win!
    • When it’s used this way, people will often message you out of the blue with something like “Fff?” or, “Want to Fff?”
    • Many users will put “#Fff” in the captions of their posts to let people know that if random users follow them, they’ll follow back.
    • Just FYI, there’s usually no difference between “FFF,” “Fff,” and “fff.”

    Over text and on platforms where there are no followers (like Facebook), Fff typically means “f*ck fake friends.” If someone says this to you, it means they trust in you enough to complain about the disloyal people in their life. [3] Someone might say:
    • “Casey stood me up again last night. Fff.”
    • “I don’t really trust a whole lot of people, but you’re a real one. Fff.”
    • “Fff, for real. I’m tired of people who can’t be straight up.”

    The whole point of “Fff” is that it’s a message you can fire off fast to multiple people so that you can get followers fast . [4] Click random users, message them “Fff,” and wait for a reply. It might take some time, but a lot of people are sure to start following you! [5]
    • Keep in mind, if you don’t actually follow the people who follow you back, they’re probably going to unfollow you.

    If you’re open to following anyone who follows you, let people know you’re open for business in the captions. When other users see #Fff, they’ll know that you’re down to help boost anyone’s follower count if they follow you first. [6]
    • You can put “#Fff” on the post itself if you’re using TikTok, Snapchat, or Insta. Alternatively, you can put it in the caption of your posts.
    • On Twitter, throw a “#Fff” at the end of your posts along with the other hashtags you’re using.

    You can use this acronym if you’re frustrated with people and you want to rant a bit. The implication here is that the people you aren’t complaining about are your true friends, so don’t break this one out if you’re just talking to a casual acquaintance. You might say:
    • “I really rock with you. Thanks for always being there for me. Fff.”
    • “Man, I’m so tired of everyone at our school. Fff.”
    • “Melissa takes forever to call me back. Fff, I’m sticking with my ride or dies from now on.”

    If someone sends you a “Fff?” and you’re interested in boosting your follower count, agree to the offer and then go to their profile. Add them as a friend and/or click the “follow” button. They should follow you back soon. [7]
    • Reply with something like, “Totally! I’ll follow you right now 😊” or, “Yes. Hitting follow.”
    • If they don’t follow you back in the next day or so, unfollow them. They were probably trying to inflate their follower count without following anyone back.

    If you’re not on Insta, Snapchat, or TikTok to go viral or be popular but you don’t want to ignore anyone, kindly let them know that you aren’t interested. It’s nice to respond just so they know not to follow you.
    • You could say something like, “No thanks!” or, “I’m alright. GL, though!”

    The person messaging you “Fff” probably doesn’t know you. You are under no obligation to actually reply, and it’s fine to just let this one be. Don’t feel about leaving these folks on read.

    If someone is texting you and complaining about all the fake people in their life, they’ll probably feel better knowing that you hear where they’re coming from. You might tell them how much they mean to you, or let them know you’ll always be there for them. For example:
    • Them: “Man, I can’t stand half the kids at school. Fff for real.”
    • You: “I hear you. There are only a few real ones. I got you, though!”
    • Them: “People are such liars. I’m so sick of Andy and Darwin. Fff.”
    • You: “100%. You know I’d never do you like that. I got your back.”

    This was a popular hashtag for Instagram for some time. Girls would post selfies of their Friday night outfits with #FFF in the caption just to show off in a fun way. If someone is talking about hitting the town or grabbing drinks with their gal pals, FFF probably means “Fine Female Friday.” [8] Someone might say:
    • “We hitting the bars tonight?! IT’S FFF YA’LL!”
    • “Wanna come over at 7 to get ready for FFF?”
    • “It’s ladies night at Ruckers Pub tomorrow. Ya’ll want to hit it up to kick off FFF?”

    Ff is short for “forfeit” in League of Legends—one of the most popular online games in the world. To quit a game early, players could type “/ff” in the chat to basically say, “I want to surrender.” If you’re playing any online multiplayer game, “fff” might be a typo of “ff,” or it may be “f*cking surrender,” as in, “there’s no way we can win, let’s quit already.” [9]
    • Players will often just say “ff” or, “fff” in chat without any additional context. It’s rare for there to be anything else attached to this comment.
