+<p><i>Note: This is not the usual way to follow someone but it's a technique some people find convenient.)</i></p>
+
+<p>You can initiate a remote follow directly from your own server. To do this visit <tt>/main/ostatussub</tt> on your server. For example if you are logged in to quitter.se you would go to <tt>https://quitter.se/main/ostatussub</tt>. You will get to a page with an error like this:</p>
+
+<a href="{RES:manual-confirm.png}">
+<img src="{RES:manual-confirm.png}" alt="First page of the ostatussub confirmation" class="figure" />
+</a>
+
+<p>Enter a profile address such as <tt>https://quitter.no/doctorow</tt> and click <em>Continue</em>. You will jump straight to the confirmation screen as shown above.</p>
