@ahills I think I've had one other person mention it. It would perhaps make sense as it's also the most common metaphor when people try to explain federated :) I believe my thinking was that it's the more uncommonly talked about stuff that is interesting to fit in.
But I will add it to my backlog and consider it for the next iteration. Thanks.

@mathias woot. that's concerning đŹ
@mathias Also, thanks for helping me out and checking this., I am in the process of manually sending messages to the about 1,000 followers listed on my profile. It turns out almost all of them are stuck in the "Withdraw follow request" mode. They are withdrawing the request and then re-following and I'm hoping this works for most of them đ
@m @natbas
The result that @jerome got was that only he had answered the poll đ

@natbas Haha, I wonât be relying on polls to look the same across the fediverse anymore.
Thank you.
@jerome Wow. Interesting. No in fact 20 people voted. Which still is a lot less than I expected/hoped.

@gustav Jag vill ha kakan, Ă€ta den, ge bort den, tvinga ner den i halsen pĂ„ dig och framför allt vill jag ha betalt för den. đ€Ș
@me Ha, that was supposed to be a direct message. Oh well.
In my case I lost almost all followers. I had 3,600 followers. My profile lists 1,020 followers. But only about 25 of those people can actually see my posts. Most of those followed this account before the migration.
Trying to not let it bother me too much, but itâs hard. đ
@AnetteS Tack för förklaring Anette, exakt som jag misstÀnkte.
@m đ Keep me posted.
@shanselman
Ha. Fascinating. Likely you can withdraw request and follow âagain' and that will trigger a regular follow.

@nova
Oh interesting! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
In my case the missing 2,600 followers are in limbo as they are no longer at the old account either.
My idea at first was that one cause for this could be short-time users of Mastodon who just tried out the service 1-2 times and then haven't logged in again, thus not triggering the re-follow. Not sure if this is a realistic theory.
In my case there is the added complexity of moving to an Akkoma instance, so I'm guessing there are issues with this as well.
I do now have examples of people who are listed in my followers list not actually following me (they have the "Withdraw follow request" button). I also have people who are following me but are not listed in my profile as followers đ

@openrightsgroup
Does giving up first name and last name really have to be compulsory for a newsletter? đ

I see similar experiences all the time. It makes you realise just how much the recommendation algorithms have been in control over the content that influences us, rather than the human participants.
@mookie Wohoo!! Given that this is the first year ever I am playing around with servers Iâm feeling pretty awesome about making this happen.
@m
Hetzner here. But I misspoke. This server is actually in Finland!
