    @will ... I've got Mastodon and Riot up and running with Pixelfed, no issues. Feel free to search for me @doodlemania@pixels.thedoodleproject.net ... when you do the search, watch your logs and it should show up after a few tries.

    Just followed you. But something seems off. I could search for you as a user, but when I am in Pixelfed and can see those Following me, I can't follow them back from within Pixelfed Followers view. When I click on a Follower it brings me to their instance, but I can't Follow them back. In fact, I'm urged to make an account on their instance! Weird.

      @girish I can't even see the user account.
      It worked previously, when it was first being tested. Could old mastadon/riot settings on the host be messing with it?

      @will AFAIK, the mastodon/riot settings have no overlap with pixelfed. Not sure what might be going wrong.

        @scooke I'm not 100% certain, but this might be the way Pixelfed currently works. I've seen this experience myself and it is a bit sub-optimal, but doesn't appear related to cloudron or the federation but rather, the app itself. Will continue to monitor!

          @doodlemania2 I was able to see you in mastadon and pixelfed! Anyone have a peertube instance I can test? Also, how can I test Element chat federation?

          Thanks guys!

                @scooke can't you remote follow them from your instance ?
                I agree with the other comment, you can't use Pixelfed as a full blown actor in the fediverse, you can follow other users in your pixelfed instance but any user outside of your instance is a remote follower you can follow from your mastodon account but not from pixelfed.
                on the other end, anyone using an activitypub enabled system can follow a pixelfed user.

                  Just setup pixelfed, its not federating. The failed jobs page says no failed jobs. I'm running this from photos.domain.com.

                  @will I have the same issue.
                  There is not a single error in my horizon dashboard, it's active & green, following your own pixelfed user from your mastodon instance work just fine but if you search a profile from another PIXELFED instance anywhere in the fediverse there is no search results
                  d7086b68-8441-43ab-8fc6-8e2497a8aaf0-image.png

                  https://pixelfed.social/admin

                  If you look to your own mastodon or any other identity there is no issue :
                  88e9ccc5-f588-42b2-9c91-0499ee07eb93-image.png
                  d2d45a87-6400-4163-bc0d-4d0a916aabea-image.png

                  it can't neither see a peertube profile.

                    regarding no errors in Horizon :

                    There does not seem to be any jobs running, maybe that's why ?
                    14e192e5-36f4-43fc-a4b0-7bdfb64aa7af-image.png
                    no jobs no failed jobs ?
                    705c38c3-877c-484e-b91f-ee3e896b8f9a-image.png
                    earlier today I published a photo from my mobile and it went just fine :

                    My experience is that the app is smooth and fast both on desktop and mobile
                    I have no idea what's going on but when I search admin@pixelfed.social
                    in the logs trail you can catch this :

                    Jul 29 17:54:25 172.18.0.1 - - [29/Jul/2020:15:54:25 +0000] "GET /api/search?q=admin@pixelfed.social&src=metro&v=1&scope=profile HTTP/1.1" 200 992 "https://pixel.rmendes.net/i/results?q=admin%40pixelfed.social" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0"

                    this "verify_credentials" might be where the problem is ?

                        I wonder if this is a Pixelfed issue, not a Cloudron issue? It seems some types of follows work, others not so much. Thoughts?
