RSchooleyDoes anyone know what the deal is with looking at other people’s follows? When I click on it it’s always just blank for me. Is it just my phone? It makes hard to discover who else is on here.
nickjoecoleman@RSchooley seems broken - blank for me too
jane 🦅@RSchooley They will be on a different server. You can see them if you open up the user via “Open Original Page” option.
@RSchooley It’s one of the less optimal features about this site tbh
Barry+ 💉💉💉💉 🖖🏽 🏳️🌈@RSchooley Seems you can't see another person's follows on a different server than where you are. This thing is completely decentralized on different servers hosted by, anyone really. I think that's right.
TAHinSLC@RSchooley works for me.
Abandoned America@TAHinSLC @RSchooley I set mine to private, I'm assuming other people might have too
Cranky David@RSchooley
this is clunky.
from most apps the list only shows those following from your instance.
if you use the webapp you can click through to the instance the user is on and see the full list.
Shannon T@RSchooley My understanding is the different servers.
mckayro@RSchooley first I'm no expert, but I checked my own network and this seems true: I believe you can only see followers if you are a member of their instance. This is a feature : harder to troll. Harder for you to network: it's the price paid for a nicer place. Many join several instances for that reason. If you follow the community, you earn trust, you get to see their follows. Many deal with this by opt in follow recs/lists, or ask politely of the person you wish to learn from.
@RSchooley i also think is not a "rule", there may be some instances that don't shield member follows. That's a guess though...
kimmasters@RSchooley it works on Post.
@kimmasters Yeah much easier to find your follows over there. I still don’t know where I’m going to ultimately try to focus on. If anywhere. Maybe it’s time to just take a break.
@RSchooley You can’t do it! (Neither can I.)
@kimmasters probably not. But I was able to quit Facebook years ago and not go back.
@RSchooley Same though I occasionally lurk.
@kimmasters I never have. Though lately I’ve been tempted since it now seems less problematic in comparison.
ExistentialBunny@kimmasters @RSchooley I just wanna say your humorous posting provided a great deal of moral support these last years. Everyone should be skeptical of Post owner marc andreessen is an Elon buddy and nefarious AF.
Nicky the Squid@RSchooley doesn't show people on different se4vers...
aaron "Tuppence"@RSchooley users can and do turn it off. A decent starting point for many people you'll remember from the bird though is to search for journa.host and find them that way.
Catherine S@RSchooley yes I've noticed that too, on some.
