When following a lemmy.ml comm from Mastodon, it submits a “follow request” instead of just following by default.

According to this comment, this has been an intermittent issue from the initial introduction of federation several weeks back: https://lemmy.ml/post/89740/comment/105555

Have we figured out why this is happening yet?

Ok so it looks like Lemmy comms appear in the search interface, and you can use the mini follow button in the result list to follow the comm.

If you view the comm, and then use the follow button there, it will submit a follow request which presumably will never be answered.

Alright now that it’s been a while, the icons have reverted to showing “cancel follow request” rather than “unfollow” so we’re back in the same spot as before.
