     There's no direct way, but if you go to their profile page it may look blank.

     @feditips Do you know how to see if someone has you blocked?

     I wouldn't recommend followgraph as it is run by someone from Meta (they have "Trust and Safety @ Meta" on their profile which is sort of a contradiction in terms considering Meta's horrific track record regarding genocide etc).

     You don't need to have all your follows on the same timeline. You can use Lists to move follows onto separate themed timelines:

     https://followgraph.vercel.app/
     is missing.

     Actually, at this stage it's more important to inform people (how) to properly organize or even reduce their follows.

     After all, you can only read so much, and the more users you follow

     * the more posts you will miss out on

     * the more infrequent posters will be forgotten

     * the less you respond as well

     "It's a tool. Working for Meta doesn't mean, everything you do can be smeared."

     It's a tool created by someone who works for a company that does disgusting things. I don't trust such tools.

     "it's already hard not to not miss a lot of posts."

     It depends on what you want from social media?

     If you want to see literally every post then yes you have to restrict how many people you follow. But a lot of people dip in and out of social media and aren't too worried if some posts scroll by.

     It's a tool. Working for Meta doesn't mean, everything you do can be smeared.

     When I said "to organize", obviously I meant lists. Despite the lack of features there is still plenty that people can be made aware of.

     Moreover, how many lists can you really manage and users per lists make sense? When you follow several thousands or even just over 500, it's already hard not to not miss a lot of posts.

     The goal is to interact, otherwise you can just sub the RSS feed.

     I think this is deliberate, because some trolls/abusers try to take "revenge" on anyone who dares to block them.

     By making it harder to notice blocks, such acts are less likely to happen.

     @feditips thought so. Fairly clear from context, but not entirely. Strange how the fediverse is so much about blocking, but they missed this 🙃
