Let's hope that is true. I'm on day 1 and have no idea what I'm doing. trying to follow people that are on different servers gives me "errors" each time. sigh...
Did I create my ID in the wrong server?

@plotterdepot @Richard_Littler trying to navigate to the instance, it looks like an SSL issue?

@plotterdepot @Richard_Littler I don't know anything about this particular server, but if you're having a bunch of issues with it and there's no way to get a hold of the admin, then I would leave.

I’m new too and how I found people is when I see someone I recognize, I look at their following list and click and follow. Like Kathy Griffin has a ton you can check out. I too have problems searching so found this the easiest way. Every day it gets a bit easier .. I hope lol
