Why does it go to a "follow request" when I tried to follow someone on Misskey but they already have a lot of followers? Is that normal or the servers shitting themselves due to massive migration? I thought I could follow anyone on Fedi.

Same thing happened in Pawoo. Pretty sure you have to manually click to set follows to go to request. 🤔

@veru Our instance is blocked from following them without their approval, and many never bother to approve

@Jazzy_Butts BRUH. That's so weird. Thanks for the answer. I wonder if Baraag is also blocked from following? It's my favorite artist so that really sucks. I will try with my Baraag account.
I don't wanna make a bunch of accounts at different places just to follow. That defeats the purpose of Fedi lmao

Follow

@veru Baraag was for a long time but not anymore, unfollow and refollow and pending baraag requests and they'll go through in a few seconds

@Jazzy_Butts It kinda works but also doesn't all the way. On my Baraag account, it says I'm following him now when I'm on his profile but he doesn't show up in my following tab or in my timeline.
