I still don't know whether it's correct to say: "The following is correct" or "The following are correct" especially if what comes as ennumeration contains more than one item.

They are both correct. If there's only one item use is. If there are more than one use are.

Please try to differentiate the words you are talking about from the advice you are giving:

If there is only one item, use 'is'.
If there is only one item, use is.

you can say:

social media following
or social media followings.
Like in the sentence: "We need to assess your social media followings first."
