@bastianallgeier ie. I have to enter their username/instance in my search field as following them on their profile page would require me to login to their server, which is not possible.

I do not want to complain but it's a long way until it gets the UX that supports easy networking and discovery.

I do understand that Twitter and many other services that we got used to nowadays also took years to mature.

But new services will be measured against that UX nowadays.

@bastianallgeier the federated concept does make it a little bit harder nowadays though.

For example, I could not tell if your toot had more than one reply (I assume so as you mentioned 140 replies in a different one). I can only see one.

I cannot search across instances, at least starting from my small own instance (if someone knows how to add more relays, please let me know). I wonder where the tech people are.

I cannot follow someone from another instance by looking at their profile.
