So what's the deal with the visibility of followers on #Mastodon? I can see the total number of followers of people, as well as the total number of people they follow. But when I click to see the list I only get a handful, and sometime straight out an empty list.
Is this by design for privacy reasons? (which I'd understand, although it's weird it's, AFAICT, not tunable) Or is it an unintended bug?

(This account is on friendica where hiding your followers is indeed an user setting)

For you, you have 321 followers, but I only see 8 listed in my view within my social.coop account, but if I go to mastodon.xyz/users/zacchiro/fo… I see them all (well, I haven't counted to verify, but, it *looks* like 321 ;) ).
