@thibaultamartin I have four Twitter accounts and three Mastodon. Other than anti-features like algorithmic feed tampering, circles, and newsletters, what is missing from Mastodon?
@sab @thibaultamartin that seems reasonable, but am I not seeing something?
@worldsendless @thibaultamartin That is very interesting - when I try to check out yours, I can see you have 67 but the only one listed is the one from the same instance as the one I am on.
Maybe it has been fixed in a later version of Mastodon, and that my instance (and many others ones it seems) just haven't upgraded yet. In either case that's promising!
@sab @thibaultamartin what app/interface are you using?
@worldsendless @thibaultamartin All apps, including the web app. I think it's a known issue, as it's pointed out in for example an article from Tuesday:
> in general, you can only easily see people your friends follow or are followed by if those people happen to use the same server as you. (If you follow someone whose account is hosted on your server, you’ll also be able to see a complete list of the people they follow and are followed by.)

@sab @thibaultamartin when I use qoto, its code has diverged a little from main, so that could be related too
@worldsendless @thibaultamartin One common, and I think justified, critique is that it's much harder to find the people you want to follow on Mastodon.
One thing is the lack of algorithms suggesting which users to follow, another is that you can't even see a full list of users other people are following from their profile.
When arriving at Mastodon you start out in a bit of a void, while twitter is (a bit too) eager to suggest users to follow.
