[feature] Follower synchronization mechanism a la Mastodon #39

Open tsmethurst opened 3 years ago

tsmethurst commented 3 years ago

GtS should be able to synchronize followers with other servers in the way described here:

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14510

This will avoid certain situations where followers-only messages might get delivered to users on a gotosocial server who (according to the remote server) don't actually follow the poster, even if GtS thinks they do.

Hello👋

how could this be triggered in a self-hosted Mastodon server?

A mastodon server database I managed got corrupted and I lost some followers on the recovery process, now they still follow me on their profiles but they dont show up on the account followers section of my server.

Could you give me an advise how to recover them? Or are they lost forever?
