I swear this is how it was a few months ago. If you tried to follow a user into a place within a Universe, it would just send you to the Lobby of the Universe. (Then it was up to the developer to decide what to do with you once you got there)
But now, if a player is in a place within a Universe, the “Join Game” button is not available. Maybe this is a bug. But the “Join Game” option should always send you to the lobby of the place your friend is in.
Bonus: It would be awesome if clicking “Join Game” gave the developer the ability to find out who you were trying to follow, and teleport you to them right away. It would be optional, but something like this that integrated with the website would make the Dev’s job really easy if all they wanted to do was send the player to the place their friend was in.

Player.FollowUserId could be used for this. When they teleported into the main lobby you could determine if they were following someone with this property and teleport them to that instance if you wanted.

Okay excellent. I wasn’t quite sure on that.
Unfortunately it’s impossible to “Follow” a player if they are in a place within a Universe - because there is no “Join Game” button. So if this button was supported again, we would be golden!
