Subscribing to channels hosted on other instances fails (lemmy.ml)

When I try to subscribe with a remote account (I am on peertube.social) I get this error:

Cannot fetch information of this remote account

Is there a fix to that, or some other way to subscribe?

I think it is because you are subscribing to the account. On Peertube, an account can have multiple channels. So try to subscribe only to a channel and not to the account who owns the channel.

Go to the account page and then subscribe to the channel.

It should actually work to subscribe to the whole user, even from a remote instance, but yeah, I have found that sometimes only one of them will load properly.

Thanks, but that's not it, both "subscribe to a channel" and "subscribe to all channels" result in an error message
