Cannot follow Peertube instances at first attempt
Current behaviour:
When following Peertube accounts, the follow request hangs as "Awaiting Approval".
This was tested with three different peertube accounts on three different instances:
None of those accounts have any policy of manually approving follow requests, meaning the follow request should have been accepted.
Expected behaviour:
- If there are no policies on the account in question preventing it, a follow request from Librem Social should be automatically accepted and follow through.
Current workaround to this:
- Cancel the follow request and follow the account a second time
Possible causes:
This could be related with the fact that while Librem Social URL is social.librem.one
we changed the username@domain.tdl
to username@librem.one
This has been know to cause problems in following accounts between instances.
If that is the case then this might affect following accounts also on other services like mastodon, depending on instances configurations.
