[themusicgod1]

what happens:

1) themusicgod1@eva1:~$ toot whois @<email address hidden>
Account not found

2) make a post on the web UI to trigger the local pleroma server to look up @<email address hidden>

3) themusicgod1@eva1:~$ toot whois @<email address hidden>

Chiefly interested in applying the methods of a discipline I took one
undergrad course in to topics entirely ignored in my graduate
education, with a sideline in subjects I studied once at summer
school. I have a blog on my personal home page.

OR

maybe some kind of 'sync' command to sync with remote server

1) themusicgod1@eva1:~$ toot whois @<email address hidden>
Account not found

2) themusicgod1@eva1:~$ toot sync @<email address hidden>

3) themusicgod1@eva1:~$ toot sync @<email address hidden>

either way it makes no sense to say "account not found" when the account is right there on the open fediverse
