 * Hi!
 * I just installed the plugin. To verify the installation, I tried to search for
   the newly created profile. When I search for it, I get the following error in
   Mastodon:
 * 503 Remote SSL certificate could not be verified
 * The account I’m trying to follow is : @ narF @ narf. ca
    (without the spaces)
 * Any hints on what I’m doing wrong?
