How can I follow someone given their account URL? For example, I landed on arthaus.social/@andrei from the web and I want to follow him. The page asks me to log in. It doesn't make sense because my account is with another server with which I'm already logged in, of course.

@mjambon My experience has been I've clicked on "Follow" on the person's home page on their server. It often gives me a popup with the option to copy the person's URL. Then, I go back to where I am logged in on my server and put their URL in the search box and hit enter. When their profile comes up this time, I'm logged in on my server and I can follow them.

@mjambon This is an example of the popup I get when I try to follow them from a page on their home server. I click the "Copy" button and then bring that back and paste it in the search box on my server.
