Question

I have an entity called a User, and want to

create a "follows" relationship, like a User following another User. Of course, a User can follow multiple `User`s. How can I do it with JPA/Hibernate? I'm using JHipster if that matters

That's not one-to-many relationship, but many-to-many. User may follow many other users. And user may be followed by many other users, not only one. Many to many is always a separate table

This article (one of the first Google results) looks nice, it shows all three cases of how you can implement many-to-many with jpa and why you may need different approaches. https://www.baeldung.com/jpa-many-to-many

You're welcome. Also I've just remembered that many-to-many is a relationship between "user" and "role" in spring security. This may also be helpful when searching for examples, there are tons of examples out there for classic setups for spring security

You can use oneToMany relationship to store a list of users related to this user
