Schneid!oh my god I just discovered that sometimes the "Follow" button doesn't work on Mastodon because I got to the profile through another instance that I'm not on or some dumb shit I know it's just a matter of copy-pasting to another window but this shit suuuuuckkks
Alan Zabaro@SchneidRemarks I’m using an app (called Toot!) which at least knows how to do the right thing when that happens, offering to let me follow as my own account
self crit hulk@SchneidRemarks you should have “remote follow” as an option for accounts not on your instance I guess unless you’re using an app that doesn’t support it?
@forpush I'm just using basic web browser and I get this message:
Is there some setting I need to turn on?
@SchneidRemarks not sure actually, might be specific to certain instances? I was seeing it on a lot of people before but now when I'm looking for it it's not there
