A server can take a Follow with 202 and drop it afterwards, as Pleroma does while it cannot fetch our actor; the request then stayed pending for good. Following again now sends an unanswered request once more, the same activity, at most once an hour (a delivery's `again` key). accounts/search takes following=true: only accounts the persona follows, by the start of their name, display name or server, never resolved; a client fills a list with it. "already take" becomes "already taken". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LsXgEaXee4GCU1hwYgPJXw
