The page shows you the error I got when I tried to follow my WordPress site. It asks me if I want to withdraw my request. A few times I have withdrawn the request, and then clicked “follow” again. The same thing happens.
I’m afraid this may be caused by some general issues with your site. I cannot access it at the moment, I receive a timeout when trying to load any page on your site. It would seem that your site loads (albeit very slowly) in some locations, but doesn’t load at all in others:

Once your site is globally available again, Fediverse instances should be able to reach it as well.
