Okay, so it is likely because you are using Pleroma. In such a case, i would propose to
Because – just to note that – of course Pleroma is not (yet) supported as your home instance, this add-on is called “Mastodon – Simplified Federation“ hinting the main Fedi software I developed it for was Mastodon and I cannot guarantee or test that it works with Pleroma e.g.
That all said, I am very happy you have tried it out and it even (nearly) works. And as I believe in federation and different ActivtiyPup-compatible software solutions I am very happy to get PRs (or even hands aka people) helping to implement (and maintain :eyes:) such a thing.
Background
Whenever I click on the "follow" button on a mastodon instance, I get the error message "Error fetching user". The URL looks like this:
https://my.pleroma.instance/ostatus_subscribe?acct=@user@mastodon.instance
When I remove the leading @ everything works and the follow-request is sent after I click "Authorize".
Proposed solution
Add an option to remove the leading @ in front of the username, so that the URL looks like this:
https://my.pleroma.instance/ostatus_subscribe?acct=user@mastodon.instance
Additional context
I am using pleroma.
