I think this is why most of the docs and videos I find just kind of skip over how you actually follow. They know this part is total garbage so they just punt and say "use http://mastodon.social LOL" which again is *NOT A FEDERATED SYSTEM*. Here's what I want:
I want to go to *my* Pleroma instance and never ever look at your fucking server and then I want to enter: dude@masturbaton.social and Dude's stuff start showing up on my server. Done. End. That's all. It's fucking RSS people. That's federated. So, this most likely will die.
What utter garbage. So, if you can't follow from the obtuse weird OAuth security nightmare with silent fail that is the Mastodon follow, you can search for another person in Pleroma search and follow from there....then wait while it...Requests to follow? WTF? No, not federated.
Not sure what the UI for Pleroma is like, but this should be possible. tootstream for example will do it, and I assume there's a way to do from the web interface as well.
They use either Mastodon or their own UI, and other instances totally have people with people they follow but there's nothing. Ever document I pull up has nothing on how to *actually* really literally follow another human being. This is trash.
You're right that that is how it should work. And that's why that is how it does work. You enter the handle of a person on your own instance, you click follow, then their posts show up in the timeline on your instance.
Hopefully these screenshots explain for other people coming here and still wondering. All within my own instance (an installation of Pleroma in this case), without going to remote servers.pic.twitter.com/74CFqD279D
