I'm trying to follow disabled.social/@Lovelybug but when I put that in the search bar I just get "Could not find anything for these search terms". How do I investigate further?

@ciphergoth In general, the pattern is
https://<your mastodon instance>/@<their username>@<their mastodon instance>
so in this case,
schelling.pt/@Lovelybug@disabl

@metaweta Going to their instance, pressing follow, copying in the name from the button and pasting that into search reproduced the problem. But then the problem randomly went away on a later attempt.

Follow

@ciphergoth @metaweta When I tried going to the link last night it was extremely slow, so you may have just been experiencing mass migration-related growing pains.
