  Maybe you can help me here. I'm on a Mastodon instance: https://mathstodon.xyz/@ColinTheMathmo https://mathstodon.xyz/@ColinTheMathmo I've clicked on your link, but from the page I get I can find no way to follow you. What should I be doing? Do I click the "Subscribe" link at the top left? Given that your page doesn't look at all like the Mastodon I'm used to, it's not at all clear. Advice welcome.

    You can click subscribe and put in your mastodon address ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz, or you can search rocky1138@kwat.chatin the mastodon search box and click follow from there.

      Right, that search in the search box worked - thanks. Now following!

    You can copy-paste the profile url in mastodon's searchbar, it'll open that profile in the UI of your mastodon instance, so you can follow it as you normally would.

      Your words "the profile url" don't mean anything to me. The URL I have - as quoted above - when pasted into the search bar gives no results.
      • vigliag 9y ago
        That was exactly what I meant, sorry if it was unclear. Copy-pasting the http URL in the search bar works for me. I am however on a different instance, mastodon.social, no idea what may be causing the different behavior.

          OK, so interpreted you correctly, but it didn't work on my instance. Fair enough - not really worth pursuing, but worth being aware of. Thanks.
