I'm still kind of confused as how to follow folks on other instances, did I do this wrong? Like should it be something else?
I've also tried:
Myusername@myinstance.whatever
Sometimes I'm able to just follow folks, but occasionally it'll say I'm not logged in.
@saintajax33 Long as you know their username you should be able to easily follow them. However going to other instances you do need to have an account on that instance.
The system is kind of janky like that and only allows viewing of instances freely through the Federated tab.
@TrackerRoo so would I just search for their username from my instance? I've been trying that, but nothing pops up. Do servers need to be federated for that to work?
@saintajax33 You'll need their username and then right after you need to @ their server name. So like to follow me from outside this instance you'd need to @TrackerRoo and then @meow.social right after it with no spaces.
