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

@veru @Jazzy_Butts baraag does the same with a lot of instances, most follow requests dont even make it to their notifications to be approved
Follow

@bitterblossom @veru Baraag works now but pending requests have to be unsent and then following will work
