It would be nice if BF could send profile update activities when h-card bio, photo, and link(s) change. I recently changed the h-card on my homepage and instances aware of me prior to that still have my old photo. You mentioned in chat that BF would need to poll for updates. I also wonder if an on-demand option could work via a webmention trigger? I have not thought through this in-depth, but maybe microformats like:

<a href="https://gregorlove.com" class="u-edit-of">updated profile</a>

Yes! Great idea. Webmention trigger could work, or I could just add a 🔄 button to user pages.

Oh, but the catch is, we'd need to know all the instances to send the profile Update to. I guess I can send it to all of your followers' instances? That's a subset of all instances aware of you, I can try to collect that list, but it will still be a subset. 🤔

I was thinking only instances that someone had followed me from would have the local cache of my profile. Is it also on instances I have followed someone on? If so, I think followers-only seems like a good start.
