   Here's a #Mastodon question that comes up a lot for me. I want to follow a friend, colleague, or organization. I look them up and find they have four Mastodon accounts. None has made any posts, followed any users, or attracted any followers. Should I follow all four? None? The one most recently created? If I follow one or more, and a different one becomes active, will I ever learn about it through my timelines?

     @petersuber why follow any account that does not post though?

     @kaia @petersuber because they fetched their profile on their local server, but posts don't get backfilled, so you would follow all four, or just ask them
