   @mararm Yes, in the User's profile context menu select "Get Actor information". In order to see the profile, select "Notes by ... that user" in the Note"s context menu. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4925270

     @mararm Actually, the problem is deeper: GNU Social really cannot provide information on a "Remote user" (a User fromanother server). So in GNU Social this function works for local users only.
     If you have accounts on different servers, you may have noticed that #AndStatus understands that users on different servers with the same webfinger ID (like email) are actually the same User. This is why a profile shows notes from different servers ("Social networks") and you can switch between profiles of the User as shown at different social networks. E.g. I can see your profile (and posts) via 6 social networks (some of them are down now...) Profile at each Social Network can have different avatar... https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4930783

     @mararm As I said, those users on different instances are actually one user (e.g. you at loadaverage). They are copies of the same user. This User is local for loadaverage dot org and remote for all others.
     Using local user IDs in server-to-client interactions instead of global WebfingerIds is a cause of such "multiplicity problem" and is current limitation of both GNU Social and, sadly, of #Mastodon also.
