I want to make a query to obtain all the users that another user is "following" for a learning project.

When I execute the following python code:

user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
followers = user.follows.all()

I don't get an error but instead I get a list with an object ( called Follow object (4) ) from which I can't access the user related properties.

I've checked this documentation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/db/examples/many_to_many/

But I can't find where I'm failing to use properly this type of model-relation.

Here are my Django models:

class User(AbstractUser):
    pass

class Follow(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=False, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="follows")
    follow = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True, related_name="followed_by")

I searched in my Django DB to see what is happening and I saw that there is a relational table called "network_follow_follow" that in fact has all the info that I need and is related with the object that I get from my Query, here are two pictures about the table that I can access and the one that I don't know how to access: Table data requested by my code:

Table that I need to query:

So now I'm looking a way to access that last table, but to know how can I access straight forward to the last table data would be much better I think.

Thanks in advance.
