Did you change the URL of the site? Then, basically, no.
2. Use Jetpack’s subscriptions module. You can transfer the followers.

3. The discovery feature of the wordpress.com reader works only with wordpress.com hosted sites. Your feed followers can manually add your site to their feed but cannot “discover” it.
]]>2) Yes, I have already done that, it shows my subscribers in wp.org and reset the wp.com to zero! However, the subscribers don’t see themselves as subscribed to me. My daughter has subscribed to be in wp.com and now moved to wp.org, still, she can’t see my feed on her reader, probably it’s because of the point number 3 you mentioned. But then my question is, what is the use of having followers moved? They anyways need to use email based subscription right?
]]>Your reader followers belong to the wp.com blog, not the wp.org blog.

But then what is the use of implementing Jetpack’s subscriptions module? Its physically moved my followers from wp.com to wp.org. But they are actually not following my wp.org in reality then?
Just clarifying my doubts, just bear with me Steve ??
]]>Jetpack subscriptions work via email, not via RSS feeds.
]]>But one thing I noted, people can still follow a wp.org site (without emails) from the follow link while viewing the post in wp reader.
