@DonnaLanclos Absolutely. If you can see a toot from someone you wanna follow, just click the person-shaped icon.
Otherwise, search for the person with their handle and instance (frex you are @DonnaLanclos) and add them.
Complication: some servers shun other servers. I've yet to have this be a problem though.
@DonnaLanclos gah display issue
you are @/DonnaLanclos@/scholar.social minus the slashes.
@dsalo so I have to know people's instances to search for them?
