I'm at the point where I sometimes find a way to follow someone, so far only by finding them on someone else's friend list (as viewing their profile doesn't seem to give me that option) 😅
Still trying to figure out what the left sidebar is. Once I'm done with that, I'll figure out what groups and circles and forums are...

Jaaaaa noni, toi vasemmalla oleva valikko ratkaisi ainakin yhden mysteerin! (Kun meen jonku profiilinäkymään, siellä ei oo mitään actions-valikkoa toisin ku sit jonku kontaktilistassa olevan infosivunäkymässä, eli jollen tajua avata sivuvalikkoa, pystyn seuraamaan vain jonku konktakteja enkä sitä itseään.)

Ehkä tää tästä vähitellen!

I am not complaining, though (and I read you aren't either?), because it is impossible that a community of mostly volunteers can compete with a multi-billion dollar company which has been working at it for 20 years.
But hopefully it can compete with a multi-billion dollar company which has been working at it for 20 years whose boss is a douche of such level that nobody wants to use his platform any more.
