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.
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.
