Q: How do I follow a user on a remote instance ?

OK - so you now have your new, shiny identi.ca account migrated to the wonderful Pump platform. Obviously, all your existing Friends/Followers subscriptions from identi.ca have been seamlessly migrated but sooner or later, you will make a new friend. Honest, you will. No, you will.

If your new mate is also on identi.ca, then it's easy enough, Very similar to identi.ca, in fact, just click 'Follow'. The 'Follow' button should magically transform to 'Following'.

Let's imagine you want to follow 'david@fmrl.me'. Ensure you are logged in to your identi.ca account. Then visit David's Pump page at https://fmrl.me/david

Click 'Follow' as before but instead of entering your login credentials on the remote instance, click 'Account on another server ?' and type in your Webfinger identifier 'harry@identi.ca'. Again, this isn't too far removed for the process for subscribing to a remote StatusNet user, but the GUI may throw a few people at first.
