I thought that if I entered a Fediverse address here, like '@FrankM@nrw.social,' it would follow that user, and their posts would then appear in the corresponding category.
But that's not happening. There's also no meaningful error message. The actor you see in the image probably appears because I entered an incorrect address.
Does this feature need to be enabled on the Fediverse instance 'nrw.social'?
Who can help?

Yeah that's a great use case, and definitely what it ought to be used for. Let me look into nodebb-to-nodebb folllowing, that definitely should be working!

Have you verified that it is? Because I'm getting a never-ending Pending status when trying to sync to @testing-ground. Things federate fine, but without the syncing being established, they either don't get addressed to my instance, or are dumped into /world if I specifically reference someone on my site. And it's a little weird that they're not all ending up in /world, because I have an account that's following @testing-ground.
@Kichae I'm not seeing an issue (although I haven't done exhaustive testing) between my test instance and this site.
Can you let me know one of your federating categories, so I can try to set up a sync?
