Several friends on both services not showing up in Friends table at all #29

A decent number of people (at least a dozen or so) that I follow & who follow me on Twitter, and who I also follow on Mastodon, do not show up at all in the Friends table. Since the documentation for users is, er, "sparse", I'm not clear why I'm not getting them in my results. Thought - Twitter, Facebook, etc. clients on Android scrape the phonebook for email addresses, then use Twitter and Facebook APIs to find potential matches based on email addresses. Is something similar possible here?

Oh. I just noticed the text "...uses a database of Twitter users and Mastodon users who signed in here..." so I guess that explains it. Crap.
