Remote follow only shows "Request sent!" but doesn't follow
Pleroma 2.2.1
I'm on my second attempt this week to try to get Pleroma running correctly.
What's happening is whenever I try to remote follow someone on another instance (Pleroma or Mastodon) it brings up the popup, I log in to my instance and it says "Request sent!" and when I check their user list, it lists my user. When I go back to check my followers list it never follows. Local follows do work correctly.
I've set added relays and that hasn't helped.
The first time I thought there might have been a database problem, so I dropped the db and started from scratch with a different domain name. It's doing the same thing this time.
The only things I'm doing differently than the guide are:
- I'd like to be using apache
- I'm storing it on some attached space so my working directory is in /2tb/opt/pleroma/
I thought it could be a problem with apache, so I disabled apache and installed nginx and am having the same problems. I used the recommended config files for both services.
I'm not seeing anything out of ordinary in the logs.
