Trying to follow a profile from GoToSocial, or include GoToSocial accounts in profile, is not authorized #21

Hey there - simultaneously with your incorporation of GTS as the fediverse authentication offering I had started my own GTS instance to play in. I've noticed that GTS accounts cannot follow my profile, they are indicated to have "Requested" follow access, but the profile does not accept the follower. There is no means by which set "approve followers" on or off that I can find in FediProfile so this is puzzling.

My profile when I have added my GoToSocial account also does not have the option to boost posts from the GTS account the same way it does from Mastodon and from photo-sharing sites like pixelfed. I think this might be a collision of federation and personal privacy settings but I'm not sure. If it is, I'd be happy to document it. But I need a little help with getting insight into how a fediprofile "sees" a follow request.
