I saw that you are on unknown and I'd like to follow you!
But did you know that because I am not a user on unknown, I cannot follow you from elsewhere?
There is no technical reason for this, the restriction is purely unknown's choice because they want more users on it.
However, I believe you don't need to be on unknown because <strong>there is an alternative on the open web</strong>!
The alternative is called the Fediverse which is not controlled by a central entity and thus doesn't impose such restrictions.

What makes them a little harder to use?
Because they are not centralized, you need to choose a server (sometimes called instance). Often financed through donations or membership fees, they are rarely run by companies. Choice can be a bit overwhelming, but you'll be helped on the respective info sites:
