   @feditips complete newbie here. I have handles of several friends already on Mtsdn but am having trouble finding them. Is that because they’re on different servers? I thought that via Federation, it wouldn’t matter what server you or your friends reside on. Thanks!

     Yeah, exactly. Ask them their full address, it's displayed just below their names on their profile. It will look like this:

     @ user @ server

     You can paste this into the search box to make the account appear.

     See this for screenshot examples:

     @justcallmatt It shouldn’t matter, but you’ll need to specify their full address if they’re on another server. Think email address - @name@server.com, rather than just @name.

     @feditips @Serenus thank you that worked. Now to fix the next problem. I can login to my account via browser but not with the app.

     Hmm... try logging in with a third party app? (There's a list at https://joinmastodon.org/apps)

     I'm not saying you have to use a different app, just curious to see if the same error happens there too.

     @feditips I was able to login with the Mastoot app on my phone. I didn't see a way to specify my server (mas.to) in the regular Mastodon app

     You click the "Log in" button, and then type your server's name into the search box (the one with the magnifying glass ? ).
