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?

    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:

    The network type was not detected. The contact cannot be added.

    The specified profile address provides insufficient information.

    No compatible communication protocols or feeds were found.

    The network type was not detected. The contact cannot be added.

        It’s probably DNS. Somehow, it’s always DNS.
