on min 13:54 you express a incredible important misunderstanding!

#followRequest only show's up when you choose in settings manual approbation of followers!

You find that in:
/settings/profile

other wise your account approves automatically all follow requests.

in other words, tons of people are awaiting to follow you right now!

@jondaria@mastodon.social user- hi. I am trying to send you a direct message but I cannot get the hang of this. So if you see this please send a follow request. I tried to figure out how to find your profile and send one. It didn't work. Hope you had a great holiday weekend even if all you did was work. If you didn't celebrate I hope that the money was good and the food plentiful and friends around. I wish I took a picture of my dinner but I didn't.
Oh well, I defo ate. #friendrequest #followrequest

I received this message asking me to approve a #followrequest

It's nice to know this platform looks out for your best interest better than some *cough, cough* other #socialmedia platforms.

"Even though your account is not locked, the mstdn.social staff thought you might want to review follow requests from these accounts manually."

Can I get to some followers tonight? #followbackfriday #followrequest #followfriday

Can I get to 100 followers tonight? #followbackfriday #followrequest #followfriday #LFC #YNWA #LFCFamily

Morning all...
Yeah, still figuring this out
No idea how to accept follow requests...
#help #followrequest

I don't seem to be able to approve follow requests in the standard Mastodon app, I have to do it on the web version in a browser. Am I missing something? #FollowRequest

An alle, die mir #Folgeanfragen schicken oder bereits geschickt haben und noch auf eine Antwort warten: Bitte schreibt doch etwas in Eure #Profil​beschreibung und/oder setzt gerne einen #Introduction- bzw. #NeuHier-Toot ab. Zeigt zumindest, dass Ihr die Absicht habt, dauerhaft hier zu interagieren.
Ich schaue immer mal wieder die geparkten Anfragen durch und nehme sie auch an, sobald sich auf Euren Accounts etwas tut. Danke sehr.

To all those who send me a #FollowRequest or have already sent one and are still waiting for an answer: Please write something in your #profile description and/or put an #Introduction toot. Show St least that you intend to interact here permanently.
I'll check the parked requests every now and then and accept them as soon as something happens on your accounts. Thanks a lot.

A todos aquellos que me envíen una solicitud de seguimiendo o los que ya hayan enviado una y aún están esperando una respuesta mía: Por favor, escriban algo en la descripción de su #perfil y/o publiquen una #Introducción. Demuestren que tienen al menos la intención de interactuar aquí de forma permanente.
Revisaré las peticiones aparcadas de vez en cuando y las aceptaré en cuanto ocurra algo en sus cuentas. Muchas gracias.

noticing some #followrequest acceptances not going through easily at the moment, lot of '#404 record not found' #error messages. They usually do go through after a couple of attempts, but apologies if anyone's sent me one and not seen a response. I'm sure it's just #server growing pains.

btw. I'm following back everyone except people with no #bio, no pic, or no posts. Please do take the time to do that stuff.

I'm enjoying that people seem to #followback more automatically on here.

Dear random follow requester: please have something in your bio, since I won't be able to see your toots. Also, please have some toots, especially an #introduction one, in case.

By "something in your bio" I don't mean "I just came here from twitter" or "Me acabo de caer del guindo". I mean some actual info about yourself.

Just be a person.

If you're screening your follow requests, it's probably not a good idea to reject or block someone just because their profile picture is empty.

There are many blind people on the Fediverse who don't use profile pictures. For example, the writer Robert Kingett at @blindscribe doesn't use one.

The most reliable way to screen accounts on here is just to read what they have posted, as this better reflects what kind of account they are.

@pixouls
Right, I see what you mean now.

In #Fedilab, there's no way to interact with the notification. All you can do is tap the profile picture, which takes you to their profile page, from where you can do nothing related to approving follow requests.

But when you have a #FollowRequest, a new item shows up in the menu that wasn't there before. Rather unintuitive, but okay. Now I know.

Hey fediverse! Who can I follow for >= occasional #linguistics or #language or #conlang/#conlanging posts? I've got @allthingslinguistic already, but are there any other accounts either like that or just people who post about it that y'all can recommend?
