Thanks! Accidentally reset my database, but I was in the midst of trying the following group actors:

[email protected]
[email protected]

these two were my big tests, @[email protected] didn't seem to work too, but I forgot to re-test it after I manually took the null follow out from the database.

Should also note that the first two managed to show up in my original /world when following from my admin account, so I'm fairly sure posts were federating in properly to that

@FrankM Running into the same problem on my end (2 days and it seems my follow to any group actors is stuck). Did you try to follow a non-group account when you got the 'null' actor on your list too? I get the feeling it's related to our endless pending on lemmy communities and such

Should probably also mention that the pending actors have been that way for a few days. I can see their posts in my /world, and similarly can see posts my test category federates out, but nothing feom external groups syncs in it seems

Seems my testing ground can't follow sync with group actors/remote categories. I'm assuming the null id is related, but haven't figured out how to remove it yet (unfollow button just refreshes the page)
