I'm struggling with the notion that it doesn't matter what server you are on, because it all flows. It doesn't! I can't browse followers on other servers, making people hard to find.

And then I just encountered this

"Older posts from other servers are not displayed"

(the post which ended the thread was 14hours old, so "older" means last night)

@Rudydoesbooks You need to go to the search and type @[email protected] so for me it's @zikalify

@zikalify that’s not browsing. That’s connecting with someone you know, and by username. I’m talking about clicking on someone you know and browsing their followers, finding your network. That is a pretty fundamental thing that doesn’t work across instances.

@Rudydoesbooks Yeah I get what you mean, you might come across other people in threads or by search hashtags too but I can't go on your profile and see your followers I don't think.

@zikalify it makes discovery very changing across instances!
