Seems a bit tough to find your friends on here (even with https://mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com).

And I don't know if I'm not seeing friends' posts, follows, followers, etc... because that's how the system works, or because the system is under a lot of stress right now.

But I'll worry about that tomorrow; for tonight I have to explain this social network to my girlfriend even though I don't really understand it myself. Luckily, that sort-of thing has never stopped me before!
