The strength and nature of a järgijaskond can vary significantly depending on the context, from loosely connected supporters to a highly organized and dedicated group.

The concept of a järgijaskond implies a relationship of influence and loyalty. The leader or movement provides a vision, set of principles, or goals, and the järgijaskond actively engages with and promotes these ideas. This engagement can manifest in various ways, such as public support, financial contributions, participation in events, or the dissemination of information. The size and composition of a järgijaskond are often seen as indicators of the popularity and impact of the entity they follow.

The loyalty and commitment of a järgijaskond can be a powerful force, shaping public opinion and driving significant change.
