Honestly, the only real solution is leaving Twitter. With the plan to remove the block feature this will only get worse and worse. I really don’t see this sort of thing getting better anytime soon or later.
Some options: Mastodon is great, push through that initial anxiety about servers and just hop on. Not threads! Unless you’re okay with FaceBook taking, very literally, all your data. Bluesky I’ve heard is okay, but it’s another billionaire project that has an algorithm to do whatever they want.
How do you find people you want to follow on other instances with mastodon? I’ve tried searching all kinds of ways with username and instance, but it doesn’t find the people I’m looking for (specific accounts)
trending works great now, hashtags always worked, and many apps support features like following instances. The search feature is upcoming so maybe wait for that to drop

Yeah Ive already done this, they don’t appear when searching…is this method only usable for the website version?
Can’t say that I know for sure, but could be that the app doesn’t support this (yet)?
I came find you like this from the Mastodon app.
Yes, we can follow Lemmy users from Mastodon.
Maybe the accounts you’re looking for are in defederated instances?
No they should be on large federated instances too…but that is not my mastodon account, I have an account in a different instance for mastodon.

I really think Elon just wants to destroy twitter to finally put an end to that hellhole
Yeah, nah.
More likely situation is the ma child is simply bad at running a business. This is backed up by his history.
Wasn’t there this thing of grandsons ruining their grandparent’s business?
But seriously, Elon is doing it too wrong for it to be accidental
