Mixed success in following these accounts. BBCRadio4 has sat on [Requested] forever.

@guardeddon Could it be related to your instance? It's not a restricted account and can be followed immediately.

@richlv
DonMt think so, checked with the instance operator. He couldn’t help.

@guardeddon Sorry to hear that. All that I can offer is "worksforme" :)
I doubt BBC sees anything to approve either.

@guardeddon
Couldn't isn't the same as wouldn't. If he's using any of the various spurious lists of vast blocks it's likely he's blocking BBC's instance.

I had this with following someone, and it turned out it had glitched - they couldn't see the request, but when I unfollowed and followed again, it worked.

I have done that a number of times. Two of the BBC accounts are fine, I’m shown as following. Others stuck as [Requested]. Somewhat annoyed that no-one connected with the BBC accounts has responded, it’s not as if they’re busy posting or each post garners a host of replies!

@guardeddon Might be your server? My follow request was fulfilled immediately.

@mooch I did check it out with the mod/admin/provider of my instance but couldn’t resolve. I belive Qoto does run on fork of Mastodon. But at least one of the BBC accts does ‘work’ as expected…
