If you click on a Mastodon profile and it seems blank, it may not be blank!

If no one from your server follows an account, it may look blank even if it's active. Once one person from your server follows the account, its posts will start gradually appearing on your server too. Lots more info about how to deal with this at:

You can prevent your profile looking blank by pinning posts, which federate much more effectively:

Servers on the Fediverse are totally independent of each other, with no centralised infrastructure at all. If one server goes down, other servers can keep going. The essence of the Fediverse is that it does not put all its eggs in one basket.

There are also many other advantages to decentralised networks:

It's also why many people have alternative accounts on different servers, so they will always be able to post:
