The way I make my Friendica profile be more relevant: I choose to let anyone follow me by default (why not), but I only follow whoever I want. Before I only accepted friend requests. If I approved they could follow me and I could follow them. But then I ended up accepting them all and my feed was full of things I was not interested in. So yeah, anyone can follow me, but I am gonna follow manually whoever I find interesting. Choices! :)

Anyone can follow me here without me having to manually accept their requests, I think that's how mastodon is by default. Now I try not to follow too many people because its difficult for me to keep up with my timeline, I miss a lot of posts. So I've made some lists in mastodon to categorize accounts into different types of interests like FOSS, privacy, science, photography, etc. This feature makes it easier to browse through these posts, on Friendica they call it groups instead of lists.
