Notes:

• [1]: doesn't seem to be a follow button yet
• [2]: Pixelfed shows an unfollow button, but doesn't seem to send a follow request, or the request is malformated
• [3]: Lemmy user doesn't seem to get notified
• [4]: might be intended, as Bookwyrm is dedicated to books

Check procedure

The profile can be found through the search feature

Search for the @[email protected] handle. The test is successful if the profile appears in the search results.

An user on this platform can follow the profile

If the previous test failed, consider that this one fails too.

Send a follow request from an account on target platform, then refresh the page.

• If the page displays a button to remove the follow request, then the test fails.
• The test is successful if the profile displays an unfollow button and your account is displayed in the followers list of the profile.

  • when you accept, your account appears in the following list
  • when you refuse, your account does not appear in the following list
