*Note. I am referring to adding people who are on Friendica. I have managed to figure out how to add people who are on Mastodon, as the process is streight forward, though I am still seeking a directory of their groups, etc.*
How do I follow people or groups? I know there is a directory, and I have been reviewing it, but most of the listings no longer work or haven't been updated in awhile. I also had to sort by English. On my friendica.world page itself, it has a "Search" option. I can type, for example, "blindness". But there is no way to sort by posts, people, groups, etc. so I have to go through all sorts of post where people just mention blindness and then, maybe, find a group or interest among them. I then found this site.

I don't see this option. The only thing about contacts that I can find is "Manage Contacts". There, the search function is to search among my own, not to add new ones.
"Friendica opens the doors to pretty much any Federated network. Say you find a Mastodon account in the wild. Copy the url to your Friendica search bar then simply follow them. Do the same for any other Federated network. Now you can interact with these people (send private messages, see their posts in your feed, comment to them, like, share, etc.)."
What is this search bar? Is this the "Search" option I found on my main page?
There is a lot more about following pages, etc. on that site, but for now, I'm just trying to learn the basics. Also, does the main page of each node look different from what I see on riendica.world or is it a unified format?
