Why can't I follow https://social.bbc/@BBCRD?
@tripu Seems we're not federated with them (yet)? Cannot find them in the search.
@trinsec @ceoln @tripu https://social.bbc/@BBC5Live/110815653034186563 Some posts like this result in 500s (to reproduce, put the URL in the search box), but the profiles seem to appear in search now.
@tripu @trinsec @olives @freemo
I seem to recall that @freemo explicitly objects to the way that post-editing has been implemented in other Mastodon clients, and has chosen not to adopt that code into the #qoto base. I tried to look for a statement to that effect, but he posts so much on other subjects that it's gotten lost in time. :) And/or my searching skills are bad.

Thats not exactly true. I dont object. It just doesnt follow any standard nor the conventions already in use when it was coded. It makes it impossible to see edits for AP compatible clients. This causes some readers to be unable to see edits even when they are fully AP complient and it breaks the fediverse...
In short mastodon introducing fediverse breaking non-standard impmentations is troubling but as long as it becomes part of the standard or at least reasonably works well within the standard I am ok to adopt it.
@trinsec @olives @ceoln @freemo Oops. I have never looked at the Mastodon codebase, but sounds like something we should fix? I might give it a go, but prefer others more versed to do it.
