If you see a 🔒 padlock icon next to someone's name on their profile, it means they are screening who can follow them. People clicking follow will have to wait for the account to approve their follow request.
If you want to screen who follows you, here's how to activate follow requests:
1. Log in through your server’s website
2. Go to your profile page
3. Click "Edit profile"
4. Click "Privacy & reach" tab
5. UN-tick box marked "Automatically accept new followers"
6. Click "Save changes" button
