Hi, I’ve been trying to follow relays but none of them seem to work. How can I debug what’s going on?
When listing them I get this:
https://relay.fedi.buzz/instance/misskey.io - no Accept received (relay didn't follow back)
https://relay-new.activitypub.ca/actor - no Accept received (relay didn't follow back)
https://relay.toot.io/actor - no Accept received (relay didn't follow back)
When I attempted to follow relay.toot.io I got this:
03:54:09.003 [warning] Can't find LRDD template in "https://relay.toot.io/.well-known/host-meta": {:ok, %Tesla.Env{method: :get, url: "https://relay.toot.io/.well-known/host-meta", query: [], headers: [{"server", "nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu)"}, {"date", "Tue, 30 Dec 2025 03:54:08 GMT"}, {"content-type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8"}, {"content-length", "19"}, {"connection", "keep-alive"}, {"x-content-type-options", "nosniff"}], body: "404 page not found\n", status: 404, opts: [], __module__: Tesla, __client__: %Tesla.Client{fun: nil, pre: [{Tesla.Middleware.FollowRedirects, :call, [[]]}, {Pleroma.HTTP.Middleware.HTTPSignature, :call, [[]]}, {Tesla.Middleware.Telemetry, :call, [[]]}], post: [], adapter: {Tesla.Adapter.Finch, :call, [[name: MyFinch]]}}}}

AFAIK, they’re public and don’t need to accept.
