Some mastodon posts from authors do not seem to have been fetched.

I just followed https://mastodon.social/@HalvarFlake on my Ktistec instance.

This is what I see from Mastodon

He has other posts in his homepage too;

Expected: Ktistec should fetch newer articles (it is stuck at April).

an ActivityPub server doesn't fetch posts when you follow an actor on a remote server. following tells the remote server to start to push new articles to you. it looks like @HalvarFlake has posted twice since that post—did either of those posts arrive?

I just checked again. It hasn't. This is what I see.

first, unfollow and the follow @HalvarFlake again. if posts don't start to arrive as they are published there are two things that i can think of right now: 1) posts are being sent but they are failing to process for some reason—errors in the logs would help diagnose this, 2) mastodon.social isn't sending these for some reason—it's possible @HalvarFlake doesn't auto accept follows, so nothing might be send until they do that.

let me know if you see anything that looks like an error in the logs after doing the unfollow/follow.

Is there a way to check whether some one has not yet accepted my follow request?
