Not gonna give up after half an hour here, but how do I follow people on other servers? [no, I didn't RTFM]
Follow
@szescstopni past the name in the search box and they will come up to follow
@szescstopni Nah not obvious it does that anyway - you can also do it in the account preferences. lots of settings too many really.
@whynot Guess I'll get used to it. Found the person, followed.
@whynot I'm blind. Couldn't find the search box :) Thanks.
