@silverpill Sharkey users cannot follow mitra users, it always displays "Processing" or "Follow request pending".

Sharkey version: 2025.4.4

@caohuak I think this is the same problem we had with Wafrn. Do you have an account on Sharkey bug tracker?

And does that mean Misskey also can't follow Mitra? I assume someone would have noticed

@silverpill >Do you have an account on Sharkey bug tracker?

No. I don't have an account on their gitlab instance.

>And does that mean Misskey also can't follow Mitra?

Misskey could follow Mitra user, I tested on a Misskey instance. (nya.one)

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@caohuak That's odd, given it is a fork of Misskey. It's definitely their problem, but I don't have an account on their gitlab either.

@silverpill I selfhosted a Sharkey instance and got an error.

Seems to be the identifier of the Follow activity.

>follower or followee does not exist

But Sharkey thinks this is a user ID.

@silverpill I created an issue.

@caohuak Thank you!

[caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone]

@silverpill A Sharkey user says that there is an instance administrator who has no problem following mitra users. But looking at the statement it's a bit ambiguous, it's not clear which version of the instance the mitra user he's following is using.

@caohuak There were no recent changes in how we generate Accept activities. It's more likely that something was changed in Sharkey since its 2025.4.2 release.
