Feature Request: Remote Follow
I think it would be good to implement a follow feature visible on user profile pages.
If a person is a locally logged in user on the particular Quanta instance, then the follow request would be sent
If a person is not logged in, for whatever reason (perhaps they have a local account, perhaps not), then a remote follow dialog launches a new window similar to how SoapBox-BE, Pleroma, PeerTube, as well as others such as Mastodon do.
For people who are not logged in locally, this enables a person with an account anywhere in the Fediverse to follow the profile of the user account being viewed from any remote Fediverse account the viewer may have.
Sometimes, even when attempting to follow an account in someone's feed, it fails, while manually visiting that accounts profile on the remote server and affecting a "Remote Follow" attempt often works - dunno why, but this has been my experience ;)
