Profiles on Mastodon sometimes look blank even when they're not blank ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

It may sometimes happen if the account is very new and/or doesn't have many followers. If you follow a "blank" account, posts made after that follow will appear as normal on the profile. More info:

You can prevent your profile ever looking blank to others by having at least one pinned post (for example many pin their introduction post). Pinned posts are always visible:

@feditips

I've run into this issue before. Particularly when looking at my brother's account, which is on a different server.

@feditips you can also poke your admin to have them refresh the profile in the admin panel! this is great for instances that use authorized fetch (so you can't see the profile logged out).
