How to remove "+Follow" button from the "record banner" of "Account" page in Community ?

Raj VakatiRaj Vakati
 you cannot remove the Follow button from the page layout. If Feed Tracking is ON for the object, users can Follow the record.  The only way to remove the button is to turn off Feed Tracking for that object under Setup > Feed Tracking.

Hi Dheeraj

That was a good suggestion but doesn't work unfortunately. It seems to be leaving a grey line trail. Any suggestions on how to hide that little leftover?

At present, There is no feature provided by Salesforce to hide/unhide the follow button in communities if chatter feed is enabled (as mentioned in earlier answers). However you can make use of global CSS override in the community.

Go to Community Builder -> Theme Editor Setting -> Edit CSS -> Put below code
  
div[class="slds-page-header slds-page-header_record-home forceHighlightsStencilDesktop forceRecordLayout"] div[role="group"] button:first-of-type {display: none;}

.slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected {display:none}
.slds-button.slds-button--neutral.is-selected.slds-is-selected {display:none}

^ better code to add to CSS (won't leave the thin line from the container) ^

This CSS is also hiding other buttons along with Follow button (ex: Close (X) on dialog)

For those of us that are less developer, here's what I added.  Please correct me if it's wrong.
  
/*Hide follow button on record pages*/

span[title='Follow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected {display:none}
span[title='Following'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected {display:none}
span[title='Unfollow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected {display:none}
span[title='Follow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.is-selected.slds-is-selected {display:none}
span[title='Following'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.is-selected.slds-is-selected {display:none}
span[title='Unfollow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.is-selected.slds-is-selected {display:none}

This was one of the first things we found with Spring '23 preview -- we already had implemented the following previous to the preview 
span[title='Follow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected, .slds-icon-utility-add {display:none}
span[title='Following'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected, .slds-icon-utility-check {display:none}
span[title='Unfollow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.not-selected.slds-not-selected, .slds-icon-utility-close{display:none}

But it stopped working with the preview. Here is what I replaced it with and it is now working again 
span[title='Follow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.uiButton {display:none !important;}
span[title='Following'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.uiButton {display:none !important;}
span[title='Unfollow'], .slds-button.slds-button--neutral.uiButton {display:none !important;}
