Federation with mastodon/misskey not working?

I was testing on mastodon v3.2.0/v3.2.1 and misskey v12.55.0

Follow requests not working

When I was trying to follow a community (eg. @discussion@dev.narwhal.city or @Ebbtide@lotide.exopla.net.eu.org ) from Mastodon or Misskey, the follow request seemed to be always pending (masto: Cancel follow request; misskey: Processing...).

It seems that the follow request is accepted but mastodon or misskey can't receive the Accept activity.

Nov 15 05:16:17 exopla lotide[450339]: ActorAndObject { actor: OneOrMany(Left(AnyBase(Left(IdOrBase(Left("https://lotide.exopla.net.eu.org/communities/1")))))), object: OneOrMany(Left(AnyBase(Left(IdOrBase(Left("https://mastodon.online/e6566c56-d3f5-4085-9ac0-25fe0160a761")))))), inner: Activity { result: None, instrument: None, inner: Object { attachment: None, attributed_to: None, audience: None, content: None, summary: None, url: None, generator: None, icon: None, image: None, location: None, tag: None, start_time: None, end_time: None, duration: None, published: None, updated: None, in_reply_to: None, replies: None, to: None, bto: None, cc: None, bcc: None, inner: Base { context: Some(OneOrMany(Left(AnyBase(Left(IdOrBase(Left("https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"))))))), id: Some("https://lotide.exopla.net.eu.org/communities/1/followers/18/accept"), kind: Some(Accept), name: None, media_type: None, preview: None, unparsed: Unparsed({}) } } } }

Mentioning ( @ some community ) not working

I think with a non-lotide account, you can mention a community to have your post posted in the community. But on mastodon or misskey, it seems you can't do that.

Can these be resolved somehow? Thanks!

- for follow requests, it worked when I tried it but that was a while ago, will try again
- on community posts, this is a known issue (see https://todo.sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/53), as lotide searches to for community targets, while Mastodon adds mentions to cc. Not sure what I want to do here

  Following and receiving posts from mastodon seems fine, I can't reproduce any issues there

    Really sorry that I didn't notice your comment, but it seems I'm still having the issue. Here is how I try to reproduce it:
    1. Log into my account on a mastodon server (mine is mastodon.online with mastodon v3.2.0);
    2. Look up a lotide account in the search bar (I tried @test@a.tide.tk and @discussion@dev.narwhal.city to test different versions of lotide);
    3. Go to the profile page of the lotide account from the search results (by clicking on the account avatar);
    4. Click the "Follow" button;
    5. (The follow button immediately changes into an "Unfollow" button,) but let's fresh the page to see if the frontend is just too lazy to check the real following status;
    6. And after refreshing the page, the button shows "Cancel follow request", which probably means that the "Follow" request is not yet "Accept"'ed? (Following another mastodon user successfully shows a blue "Unfollow" button.)
