@bramus@front-end.social hm I don’t seem to have any difficulty finding or following people on other instances? I wonder if there’s some difference in server implementations (version or something idk how any of this works)

@drwpow@hachyderm.io It’s really weird. Had issues viewing 3 accounts from mastodon.social on my host, while others from that server worked fine. Refreshing didn’t help either, DevTools kept showing a 404 getting returned from the endpoint. Only after manually searching for those account, it found it. This leaves me to assume that there’s a cache on the server that’s intervening. A cache is fine, yet it shouldn’t store the result as “not found” in case the other server doesn’t respond in a timely manner.

@drwpow@hachyderm.io @bramus@front-end.social Me either. The “find”/search function on both the apps and in the browser finds people easily from every instance. Have not had any troubles…

@drwpow@hachyderm.io @bramus@front-end.social Same, I just clicked on @bramus's profile (I'm on Fosstodon.org) and was able to hit "Follow" and it just...worked.
