Does anyone know what the rules are for #Mastodon (or other Fediverse servers) updating remote profiles.

I know the servers store a local cached copy of remote profiles, but they can be very out of date -- almost a work of fiction -- when you look at the user's profile on their own server.

I know the count stat will never be accurate on a remote server, but surely the Bio, and profile fields should be updated regularly.

@daj @mastodon the server caches it and so do the clients. You might need to do a cache reset on your client.
