I am willing to submit a PR to fix this issue
I am willing to submit a PR with failing tests (actually just go ahead and do it, thanks!)

Still with this problem，any update？🥺

This is a network issue in some regions: the Folo API can't be reached from your network, so it needs to be resolved on your side (for example with a proxy; on desktop you can set one under Settings → General → Proxy). Closing.

OK, I just adding this in my proxy rule:

domain:folo.is
domain:follow.is

The proxy address cannot be saved after it is entered

Thanks for the follow-up. The proxy field used to silently drop values without a scheme (like 127.0.0.1:7890), which is why it looked like it couldn't be saved. This was fixed in 1.16.0: the field now saves on blur or Enter, treats host:port as an HTTP proxy, and shows an error if the value is rejected. Please update to the latest version (1.17.0) and let us know if it still happens.

The same error message still appears. I use China Telecom, so I have to use ProxyBridge to access the service. Can you provide the proxy address built into folo? I’m using a Chinese email address—please reply when you receive this email.

Folo doesn't have a built-in proxy, so there's no address we can give you. Use the proxy address you set up in ProxyBridge (e.g. 127.0.0.1:7890): enter it under Settings → General → Proxy and press Enter, or check that ProxyBridge has a rule covering Folo. If it still can't connect, tell us which Folo version you're on and send screenshots of the proxy field and your ProxyBridge rule.

Thank you for your help. I was able to resolve the proxy issue on my own. Is Folo blocked throughout China?

Glad you got it working. We don't block anything on our side. Whether the Folo API is reachable depends on your network, and some networks in China can't reach it directly, so on those you'll need a proxy.
