Can't follow accounts from Mastodon (rabbitea.rs)

This is odd. I usually follow all my Fediverse accounts from my Mastodon one, just so I can boost stuff, keep an eye on what is posted across communities I run, etc (it's not my primary access method, just a bonus so I'm more likely to notice things).

Anyway, on retrolemmy.com I've just noticed if I follow anyone or any community here from Mastodon, it just sits on "follow requested".

There was an issue following from kbin at one point which was also impacting Mastodon, but I've tried following from kbin and it's working fine, so I don't think it's the same problem.

Any ideas?

Edit: this is the old Kbin problem/fix if it helps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/issues/106

Hmm... It works on retrochat.online and takahē.social, it doesn't on oldbytes.space or botsin.space (the latter takes ages to find the accounts, maybe it's a timeout issue?). If it's not a blanket thing then I expect it'll sort itself out. Thanks for checking!

No problem. I hope it will fix itself.
