@feditips Thank you for explaining this further! This would account for why I couldn’t find someone recently: their account was brand new and only had maybe one post. But a search didn’t show them even after they started following me, which had me baffled. I’m slow to catch on but I absolutely love how this works compared to centralized social media. Thank you!!!

One question: if this is the case then why can’t I see posts by, or even search successfully for people on other instances? I have friends on mastodon.social but since I’m on mstdn.social I can’t see them. Someone shared info on how to do that but I didn’t understand it. Can you help clarify? Thanks!
