On Mastodon, is there any way around the fact that you can't see all of the people who someone on another server follows?

One of the ways I've found to build up who to follow on a new social network is to look at who people I respect follow, but that seems like a giant pain here?

Follow

Related: is there any way to see someone on another server's older tweets without going to that server? (Like a plugin that pulls them and populates the field or something?)

@Ben_Reinhardt
not that I know of, unfortunately; I think there may be a masto fork out there that does this but it's p controversial

@Ben_Reinhardt not without going to that server, but if you click on their avatar on the local profile page, it will take you to their profile page on their home server.

@WomanCorn yeah -- this is one of those cases where doubling the number of clicks introduces a shocking amount of friction!
