   Profiles on Mastodon sometimes look blank even when they're not blank 😲

   It usually happens if the account is very new and/or doesn't have many followers. If you follow this kind of "blank" account, posts made after that follow will appear as normal on the profile for everyone on your server. More info:

   You can avoid your profile ever looking blank to others by having at least one pinned post. Pinned posts are always visible to everyone:

     I've run into this issue before. Particularly when looking at my brother's account, which is on a different server.

     If you follow the account, all the new posts published from that moment onward should start appearing.

     Following is the main mechanism by which servers know which accounts on other servers they should be paying attention to.
