Bug Description

what happens:

toot follow @<email address hidden>

sends a follow request which is *not always accepted immediately* despite output from toot follow

example:

toot follow @<email address hidden>
✓ You are now following @<email address hidden>

this isn't accurate: while a follow request was, indeed sent, it wasn't accepted:
( when viewed on the web interface, soapfe shows this:
"Awaiting approval. Click to cancel follow request" )

what toot *should* say is
"✓ follow request submitted" or something like that

this happens on a variety of servers, and probably happens more often than it doesn't when attempting to follow people via toot

Thanks for your bug report and including a patch. This isn't something we'd carry a patch for in Ubuntu so I think the best path forward is to work with upstream to get the message changed. The source code can be found at https://github.com/ihabunek/toot.

Changed in toot (Ubuntu):
