@aaronpk Haha so says another self-hosted instance-of-one user :)
As an aside, do you experience weird caching things? I do think most beginners should join a populated server because otherwise they are going to be seeing a lot of seemingly-blank profile pages when they click through to profiles of people who are mentioned that their instance hasn't interacted with before

Yeah that's definitely a Mastodon caching issue. If Mastodon went and fetched a few posts from someone's profile it would fix it. I'm not actually sure why they haven't done that yet.

My software isn't even Mastodon, I made my site interact with the protocol directly. So when I click on someone I just visit their profile page on their instance directly, so that avoids the issue for me.

  @aaronpk Ah nice. Are you using something homegrown or Pleroma or is there another ActivityPub compliant thing out there I haven't encountered?
