What am I not understanding here? When I follow a link to one of these accounts they have a link to another #flipboard account with the same handle and a bigger follower account. Which is the one to follow and why are there two?

@cmonster Interesting. That link is supposed to take you to The Root's account on Flipboard. It works for me on the Web.

FYI @greg in case there's an issue.

@mike @greg ah. If this is an app thing, I'm using megladon 2.1.6.fork110

@cmonster @mike could be .... to be honest, all the different app and even server version cause various experiences which can be difficult to track down. Even the follower counts .... I think they are cached and not "real time" .... I already see the root having 29 "fediverse" followers in our own internal database that produces the number over activity pub

@greg @mike Can Confirm it works as greg says on the web. And I followed another account from my app for which a post seems to have been published. so i guess it's working, though a confusing interface glitch. Thanks!
