Support remote interaction on accounts

[alexlehm]

Describe the current behavior

When clicking remote follow on an account page, the local instance gives an error "Cannot access to the remote resource"

__

Steps to reproduce

1. go to a remote peertube account page (e.g. I used https://makertube.net/a/jan_beta/video-channels)
2. click on subscribe to all channels, subscribe with remote account (I used my account alexlehm@cliptube.org)
3. the resulting url https://cliptube.org/remote-interaction?uri=https:%2F%2Fmakertube.net%2Faccounts%2Fjan_beta gives "Cannot access to the remote resource"

Describe the expected behavior

I would expect the target url to show the remote account in the local domain and show the subscribe with your local account option

Hi there,
In the code I actually see that the redirect searches videos and channels, but not accounts. The API is missing an endpoint to search in accounts. We'd need to add that endpoint for this behavior to work.

ok, switching to the channel from the account and then clicking remote follow works apparently.

i will use that, thanks

Thanks, workaround implemented in 5cea8f9 where we hide remote interaction on accounts. This is not ideal, since Mastodon users (for example) can remote interact on accounts.

We need to implement remote interaction on accounts, but #3316 has to be resolved first.
