I followed my communities from my Mastodon account on die-partei.social to stay up to date. Now I noticed that nothing showed up in my timeline for quite a long time.

Apparently the following has been locked. Communities on lemmy.ml I can still follow without any problems, on lemmy.ca communities I get a notice that a follower request was made - which of course never arrived. The same applies to the attempt to follow my own lemmy.ca account from Mastodon.

Was this option intentionally blocked, is there a problem here?

    A public explanation of where to find this ‘start deliver’-button would be super if possible. I might have to notify a few for the my larger community. 😉

    i’m not 100% sure sorry, i’m pretty sure it’s just something a mastodon admin has access to.

    edit: tried to open a comment or account from various instances I’m on: Mastodon: brands.town, die-partei.social

    Friendica: friendica.xyz, loma.ml

    None worked. Maybe I’ll rather give up on this.

    i’m not sure what you mean by this? do you mean you tried to follow your lemmy.ca account from those instances and none worked?

      this plus explicit search for a post to open like https://lemmy.ca/comment/139287. Says nothing found as if it would not exist.

        fyi: This is what I see if I’m trying to join a lemmy.ca-community from friendica.xyz which I can do without issues on other Lemmy-instances:
