On android at least it's not easy to find people on other servers other than if someone you follow reblogs them.

Even then you might need to "open in browser" copy their link and paste it in to follow.

Done all that? Great the app won't pull their recent toots. So that was useless wasn't it?

Twitter refugees are so accustomed to the Twitter website being godawful that it apparently has gone unnoticed that the Mastodon web interface is excellent, even on mobile. Who needs apps?

Yea, the users are wrong. Mastodon is perfect.

It's been five years since I quit Twitter, and after using Mastodon for a week I'm of the opinion that, yes, the UI is much superior (Twitter's UI has even somehow gotten worse since then). People don't use Twitter because of its terrible UI, they use it despite it.
