I have better luck just looking people up by their first or last name and scrolling through to find them than searching on their handle.

@inklings Oh sure, but it's not a matter of *finding* the users, it's trying to follow them, I get into this circular loop - apparently it's because they're on a different server.

β€œ@julie_bush @Rschooley Ok so how do I proceed here? Trying to follow this user, when I try login on the left, it tells me invalid account (even tho I'm logged in rn), the thing on right doesn't work at all”

@Mech0T1 There was a post about this from @feditips a few days ago. You can install a browser extension called FediAct that saves you logging in at each server.
