The official Mastodon apps still do not indicate if an account has transferred to a new server. (The website, web app and third party apps do indicate this correctly.)

This means people using Mastodon through the official apps may attempt to follow the old accounts and just get an error message, without knowing why.

If you're comfortable using Github, you can vote for this to be fixed by giving thumbs up at these issues:
