I face the same issue. I can't follow external users then.
I can follow local users though..

And I can be followed by external users.

Well, I have to moderate my previous message. It seems like there is only one account I can't follow, the only one I was trying because it's mine.
Maybe at some point I couldn't follow any account (at the time I could not be followed, check #1697 to know how I solved it) but I didn't try several account, I just tried mine and now, the problem is solved but because mine was "blocked" or something, I still can't follow mine...

I tried following my externa account from an other local account and I works. So only my local account can't follow my external account 'maybe due to past error)...

So the pbm sounds like solved to me. Maybe it was because of the same reason I could not be followed, that's the only thing I have changed but because I was focusing only on following my remote account from my local account, (which is not working) , i didn't realized I could actually follow all other external account.
What I changed was, in nginx :
location = /.well-known/webfinger { return 301 /nuage-nextcloud/index.php$uri; }
to
location = /.well-known/webfinger { return 301 /nuage-nextcloud/index.php$request_uri; }

Well, I even could solve the last issue, I mean follow my remote account with my local account doing first the following occ command

occ social:account:following --unfollow <userIdOfLocalAccound> <RemoteAccount>
