The Reddit-inspired instances like the Mbin and Lemmy-based ones may be of interest for you. The Lemmy ones, from what I can tell, always hide the follower list, and the Mbin ones allow the user to choose between showing and not showing. Also, both seem to be able to connect to Twitter-like instances, though UI for that part in the Mbin ones is pretty barebones and the Lemmy ones mix them up.
You cannot interact with microblog folks on Lemmy, unless they actively post something in a Lemmy community by tagging it. So if you want to combine microblogging with threaded discussions Mbin is the only platform that does both. Mbin lists followers publicly.
I think there are Mastodon forks (or configurations) that hide followers from the public though. But it will only ever be half hidden.
I see. That's sad. But thanks for clarifying it!
I always find it funny when I read a lemmy thread that's being posted in by microbloggers who just start all replies with @ followed by usernames of people they're replying to.
