What’s the point? Is it just to be like twitter? Why did twitter have that anyway. And if I hide mine I still show up in other people’s public follower pages? That’s dumb

You cannot interact with microblog folks on Lemmy, unless they actively post something in a Lemmy community by tagging it. So if you want to combine microblogging with threaded discussions Mbin is the only platform that does both. Mbin lists followers publicly.
I think there are Mastodon forks (or configurations) that hide followers from the public though. But it will only ever be half hidden.
I see. That’s sad. But thanks for clarifying it!
I always find it funny when I read a lemmy thread that’s being posted in by microbloggers who just start all replies with @ followed by usernames of people they’re replying to.
