Dear @QOTO, I'm getting a "500" error when searching for these Mastodon users on other servers in an attempt to follow them: - @paulg - @marius I use the advanced web interface (screenshot). I checked that the mas.to server doesn't block qoto.org according to https://mas.to/about.
@QOTO@paulg@marius workaround: create a post containing their username, then click on the username to show the profile without leaving qoto.org, and hit "Follow".
