Does 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.
@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...
