Notifications to followers

I wanted to see what notification (if any) goes to my followers when I modify an existing score. My solution was to open another account (free) with an alternate email address (cogeco) and try to follow myself on my main gmail account. I can't set up my cogeco account to follow the activity on my gmail account. Is that to do with the cogeco account being a free subscription? Maybe to keep it simple, confirm wherther my followers get notified when I update an existing score.
