Third day on Mastodon. Can't say I figured it out so far, but I'm not giving up. What I don't understand is why I can't see the followers/followed of my "friends" here. It would make it so much easier to build my bubble. Hashtags don't seem to work for me. Or literally noone shares my interests, which is, of course also a possibility.

@SHeughanNo1fan 1) you should be able to see f/f of your friends if i) they didn't disable it and ii) the server they are on didn't disable it (some servers do afaik). Try to click through to their profile on 'their' server - maybe you'll see then.

2) hashtag search/filter currently only works on the server you are on afaik (social.cologne?) so probably have a look on the larger servers and you might be more successful.

@rhritz am I able to change a server once I joined?
