> - It's not a Mastodon instance (not supported yet)
> - Element identifiers might change over time (extension needs to be updated)

> - Sometime, even if the handle is correct, a direct redirect to your instance can result in the page loading forever. This seems to be some caching issue / your instance has never seen this user. You need to copy the complete handle into the search in this case and open the profile from there. After that, the redirect will work like usual, since your instance has loaded the user once.
