If you’re curious about an account that hasn’t made it onto your federated feed yet, you can open up your browser and check it out there (assuming they have public toots). Their url is just instance.instance/@ user_handle (no space between the @ and the handle I just didn’t want to tag someone).

For example, I’m on pdx.social and my handle is @ingalls so you can find me at pdx.social/@ingalls

This will pull their toots from their own instance instead of ones that made it to yours.
