    @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.

          @doodlemania@pixels.thedoodleproject.net

          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.

          @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.

            @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 :

            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 ?

              no jobs no failed jobs ?

              earlier today I published a photo from my mobile and it went just fine :

              https://pixel.rmendes.net/p/rmdes/194086913265766400

              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?

                    @will Do you mean another pixelfed user or another user from another activitypub enabled service (mastodon, pleroma etc..)

                      @rmdes I can't see other users on PixelFed, like browsing their pages.
