As I follow these new accounts, I’m reminded of just how _hard_ it is to follow people on other servers on Mastodon.
Click follow -> dialog full of text, which gives the most common instructions (to copy and paste into the search field on your server) in smaller text at the end -> go to my server -> there’s no search field, or anything that says ‘search’ -> [I know that this is because my window is too narrow] -> expand the window -> paste into the revealed search field -> click ‘follow’ on the result -> Phew!
Now I have to do this again for the other accounts…
I’m absolutely sure people become lost and give up at every step here.
