OK, I'm trying to figure out how this system works. When I go to your profile, I can see this under the "Conversations" sub-menu. However, if I click the "My friends' conversations" icon in the top left, I don't see anything. Right now, you're my only friend (sniffle), or are you not actually my friend? Is there something else I need to do for you to be considered a friend?

I think your "latest" only applies from the time you started following, but if you go to my profile, you can see everything you have access to. Some of this is probably bound by federation etiquette - if you were to follow someone on another server, the system wouldn't download everything they'd ever posted.

The bullseye icon also shows all the conversations on the server you have access to.
