the fact that you have to do a bunch of extra steps to follow an account on a different server is super annoying and surely a solvable problem
@durrivedfunktor what extra steps? I search and follow. Is there some other way?
@ambihelical @durrivedfunktor same--just search and follow 😅. The only thing about being on different servers is you can't see someone's followers / following list when those people are on a different server 🤷♀️.
@fiery_zarzar @ambihelical at the moment, this is mostly how i am finding people to follow. if on different server, you have to open the list on that server, click follow, copy a link, paste it into search, search, etc
@fiery_zarzar @ambihelical the other example is when people post links to other servers, which is also happening a lot now for this reason. this might be less solvable, b/c the link won't know which server you're on
@fiery_zarzar @ambihelical i think it's still fixable if the link was clicked on *here* on mastodon tho, at least theoretically
@fiery_zarzar @ambihelical maybe not an issue in long term but right now ppl who moved over from twitter are trying to partially rebuild networks
