The “followers from other instances not displayed” is really the only thing that’s frustrating me here. Hard to find people to follow because of that.
@telkins That works better in the apps and for some reason with some servers.
@dkiesow I’m using the official app. Might have to try some others later.
@telkins I think this is something that can be updated with future versions.
@telkins I’ve had limited success finding folks from other servers using search in the Mastodon mobile app. Follow @adamdavidson, if you’re not already then look for the Google Doc, in his posts. Search the first part of the username - just @[name]. Limited because some folks don’t show up in search; (looks at @mkarolian, who I’m still trying to follow.) Also, 👋
@telkins
Hey --just randomly piping up here to make sure you realize that if you click on "Browse more on the original profile" you can see the followers of instances that don't show up on yours. It's a little clunky to add from there, but doable. Also there are several lists of journalists as CSVs you can import around. I can prob direct you to them if you want/haven't come across them.

Thanks! I was able to figure it out better on the desktop client than the app. The official app didn't have the "Browse" link. I have the Journalists on Mastodon sheet, but if you know of any others, please send them my way.
