One thing I don't understand about the architecture of remote group following with !gnusocial:

Why is there an intermediary form on the group's host instance at all?  The fields are already filled out, by the time I get to there it has everything it needs to have to webfinger my user for the ostatussub page and redirect to my instance to confirm the sub.

What need then for clicking that submit button on an intermediary form that's already filled out? Why not just go through with it already?  Don't see what value it brings. #
