Got it! Restored my database last night, but yeah it seems even a re-follow didn't get much to my category actor (outside of manually federating a share from my old mastodon)
Oh wait, I just realized I never shared the webfinger for the actor. mentioned below @test@nodebb.arachnibot.com
@julian Thanks! Accidentally reset my database, but I was in the midst of trying the following group actors:
anime@ani.social rpgmemes@ttrpg.network
these two were my big tests, @ttrpg@a.gup.pe didn't seem to work too, but I forgot to re-test it after I manually took the null follow out from the database.
Should also note that the first two managed to show up in my original /world when following from my admin account, so I'm fairly sure posts were federating in properly to that
@FrankM Running into the same problem on my end (2 days and it seems my follow is stuck). Did you try to follow a non-group account when you got the 'null' actor on your list too? I get the feeling it's related to our endless pending on lemmy communities and such
