Same issue. Are you able to post anything?

[srijansaxena11]

No logs? Are you able to open profile?

Everything working fine for me now.

AIO 5.0.0, Social 0.6.0-rc2: Same error message here, but after refreshing the page Nextcloud messages started showing up.

So account is being followed? Can you try following other accounts by searching them manually and following them and see if it works? I think this first prompt to follow Nextcloud account is a little buggy due to some reasons.

For me: Yes, account is being followed. As stated in #1750, I can also follow Mastodon accounts but not my own writefreely blog.

Quoting the comment here.

I don't think blog.syvi.net is using the webfinger protocol which allows Nextcloud Social to search for accounts. Because https://blog.syvi.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:@tech-snippets gives error page instead of account details. Therefore, it is not the error at Social app side but it's at the other end.

Have the issue as well on my Nextcloud

I'm using the nextcloud snap, so I don't know where I can get the log from

I can't follow, neither be followed on a fresh install of nextcloud on a fresh install of yunohost.

I finally managed to be able to be followed.
For that, I changed the redirect nginx rule
location = /.well-known/webfinger { return 301 /nuage-nextcloud/index.php$uri; }
to
location = /.well-known/webfinger { return 301 /nuage-nextcloud/index.php$request_uri; }

However, I still can't follow, I face the same issue as here : #1813
