@freemo I am trying to follow https://social.quodverum.com/@darulharb
And your server can't find it, and there is an error trying to use the redirect "Follow" dialog Mastodon provides. I'm still a newbie on ActivityPub protocol, so I'm not sure what is going on. Has one or both servers "blocked" the other? Shouldn't that at least result in a clear "we've blocked these evil people" message?

@customdesigned @freemo Curiously, trying to open that page (outside of QOTO) gives a 403.

@customdesigned @freemo That's one possibility. It could be that they're over aggressively blocking IPs and some are getting unfairly swept up by that.
@olives @freemo No trouble opening the profile page. Maybe there is some kind of IP country blocking going on? Are you in the same country as qoto.org server?
I know I've blocked the IPv4s from China - but only because of the constant password guessing from that quarter (and I can't read Chinese). The US Deep State is probably more dangerous, but no way to block them.
