Following status says “pending” for people I followed on other servers recently. What’s up with that?
🇳🇱
@wood means they havent approve dyou as a follower yet.
@freemo I know that’s how it *should* work, but as an example, I tried following a public account I own on counter.social. It says pending on Qoto, but there is no way to approve on counter, and I never made the profile private.
@wood Sadly instances which are abusive with their block lists tend to not publish their block lists for fear their users might jump ship as a response or not join in the first place.
You can always ask the admin i suppose... Are you able to follow and see woto accounts from there? If so then it is likely a silence and not a block. If not it is a block.
@freemo I also can't find Mastodon.social/qoto.org users from the CS side. Seems like something is broken. 🤷♂️ https://qoto.org/web/statuses/109264423892702284
@freemo that could be the case, not sure how to find out for sure.
