• Join a group they are part of;
• Increase your network with meaningful connections;
• Find and add connections in common (but only of it makes sense, do not add people randomly).

Not exactly. Connections are the people who have connected with you, and followers are people that have “subscribed” to your account so they can receive updates from you. So, connections are mutual “agreements” between both parties.

However, following a member or a company doesn´t mean that they are following you back. Also, users can follow you without necessarily being connected to you.

Once you surpass 30K connections, you can no longer accept invitations. So everyone who wants to be a part of your network will have to follow you.
