"Follow back" button is always shown in notification, even if I was already following that human
Describe the bug
If I was following someone, and they eventually follow me back, I get Tuba's notification about it, but the notification offers the "Follow back" button, even though I was already following them to ensure they were not doing mischievous stuff:
Steps To Reproduce
- Secretly follow someone for a couple of months
- Successfully shitpost-bait them so that they follow you back after they snorted their coffee
- Notice the irrelevant "Follow back" button as shown above

🤔 not sure if we can do that in time but we can try I guess. To get the relationship between you and the user we need to do an extra API request and since we can't edit notifications once they are out on Linux, doing the extra request means withholding the notification until it's done
(😭 the issue description)
To be honest, I'm more in favor of dropping both buttons as clicking the notification should open the profile which seems better as both actions are a bit destructive

Might be worthwhile to discuss if that could be added to the API upstream, we are suffering from the same issue in Moshidon, and I assume other clients will have the same issue.
I think this is pretty much it: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33066
Huh, I thought the "accounts you follow" was locally cached information... in any case, personally it would not shock me if a "new follower" notification took a second more to process before showing, it makes no material difference for user experience whether this notification arrives within 0 second vs 3 seconds, no?
