I can’t figure out why but there are a handful of accounts that did not get refollowed when I move my account to a new instance. And I’m not talking about ones that I have to request. There are a few it didn’t catch and when I go to follow them it doesn’t let me.
@bromonaquimby Can you be more specific when you say it doesn't let you?
@bromonaquimby I searched that account and got the following
It's orlas, from Lisbon 
has indicated that their new account is now:
orlas@masto.pt
So it looks like he has a new account but you're not getting the redirect for some reason. If this is happening with other accounts it wouldn't be a bad idea to contact one of the mods to see if there's something going on internally.
@thefalcon okay, thank you!
