Shane Liesegang, SJSo, can I follow someone on a different Mastodon instance? Or do I have to make accounts everywhere people I think are cool go?
Tom Longfield@sjml you can follow on different instance eg @[email protected]
@tlo But how do I add them to my follower list? Can't seem to load their user page because both FF and Chrome choke on addresses with double-@
@sjml can you get to their user page on the instance, there should be 'remote follow' button note that you have to put your own username and instance in the form there without the first @ ie.
@tlo Ah ha! OK this is good! But it looks like security verification fails for me when it tries to check with mastodon.social. :persevere: )
