I cannot follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy

I tried to follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy from @UniStuttgartAI@bawü.social with the Mastodon web interface, but the follow request is still pending to be accepted. I guess that the issue is the non-ASCII character in the domain bawü.social. However, it should not be an issue if it is translated as @UniStuttgartAI@xn--baw-joa.social. Is there another way to follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy?

Hey @danielhz, sorry for the trouble! The problem isn't the non-ASCII character in your domain, it's that Bridgy Fed requires accounts to be at least one week old: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#troubleshooting

Thank you for telling me! I am happy that I just need to wait some days.

By the way, maybe it should be a list of trustable servers for which there is no risk of spam or misuse (like https://bawü.social).
