Anything odd about follow requests on schelling.pt? Have a friend on another server who has a pending follow request, and her server won't let her send another. But I don't see it and don't know how to find/accept it.

Redundancy/high availability is not without reliability cost.
HA is complexity.
HA has to be weighed – a simple outage and migration, or a complex auto/manual failover and state transfer management and integration?
These nuances are shrouded to newcomers, but we all eventually get kicked in the face with our cleverness.
Ok, this feels like it should be obvious and and I'm just doing something stupid (cf. "jargon file what's a spline").
How is quoting and replying INTENDED to work in federation? If I reply, it tags the author of the toot I'm replying to, but it doesn't seem to contain any link to the actual contents I'm responding to or augmenting.
How would a follower of either one of us (or the original author, if they're prolific and I'm not replying to their latest toot) find the context?

7 things all kids need to hear
1 I love you
2 I'm proud of you
3 I'm sorry
4 I forgive you
5 I'm listening
6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup
7 You've got what it takes

Awareness post: there is an instance on fedi called 'dolphin.town' where you can only post 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'

Some important rules when considering adding ML to your app:
1. Start building without machine learning
2. Continue without machine learning
3. Be blissfully unaware of concept drift, model versioning, AUC, and feature engineering
4. Turn off the computer
5. Go outside and buy a small child an ice cream cone
6. Sit with your beloved under the stars and, wonder at the vastness of the universe and your small role in it
7. Turn the computer back on, you’re now ready to add only linear regression

I have stopped
the microservices
that were in
the infrastructure
and which
you were probably
using
for authentication
Forgive me
they were 1000+
so many
and so wasteful
Even more confusing about the distinction between local-server-culture-is-a-thing and local-servers-are-just-another-federation-endpoint: there doesn't seem to be any way to set "local" visibility for a toot.
Sorry for those of you not on my server, but was it down earlier today? I couldn't connect this morning, but don't know if it was on my side. Is there a status page or indicator I can check if it happens again?
Still trying to understand the federation model of identity around here. Is it expected to have multiple accounts on different servers, so "local" messages for that community are discoverable? Or is it possible to follow a server, rather than individuals?
Is my identity portable in any way? I can "migrate" to another server, but it doesn't seem to cryptographically authenticate to make it transparent to followers (or follows that require acceptance).
