#QOTO: I have followed a number of accounts recently. Some of them are through flipboard and others are private accounts. The toots from the flipboard account such as Flipboard UK (see image) are showing in my home timeline but still have the 'egg timer' sign and I am being asked if I want to cancel follow request. The other set of accounts (private) just have the cancel request with the "egg timer" and none of their toots appear in my home timeline. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to resolve this situation?

@bibliolater The egg timer means you followed them but werent approved yet. This can happen for many reasons such as:
* The user set up their account so they need to approve followers
* you as a user, or the entire instance, is muted but not blocked, thus requiring the user to approve followers
* The user or the instance has either you as a user or our instance blocked.
