Hello! I've created a new instance, https://social.harding.dev. I can access it fine and post new toots, and lookup users on other instances but I am having trouble doing anything else. Whenever I try to follow an external user it gets stuck in "pending follow request". Additionally, whenever I try to follow the user on my instance (@alex@harding.dev) from a different instance, I get "503 Remote data could not be fetched". Account name: @alex@harding.dev I have tried to properly set up |

Hi @aeharding , Are you still having this problem? I've just done a test from my testbed and everything seemed to go okay - and a follow from my @rbairwell@mastodon.org.uk account seemed to work and I was able to follow you. |

it's interesting that I've (just) tried to follow you from 5 different servers and 2 of them worked... Have you got a firewall running on the server (you should have) and has it block any instances? Are you running any kind of WAF (such as mod security), filtering or proxy/cache server in front of it? I notice it is running on a Spectrum Residential IP address: do they allow/permit you to run servers? |

Just noticed that the server only supports TLS v1.3 : can you try tweaking that in nginx to alliw TLS v1.2 as well to see if it makes a difference? |
