[Federation]: Cannot discover Friendica accounts from Loops

[Barbapulpe]

Description

I cannot first search for a Friendica account from Loops, this fails with the following message :
Something went wrong
No remote account found with that address

What I have to do is first to follow a Loops account from Friendica, and then I can conversely follow that Friendica account from Loops. This works fine, the account is then followed from Loops once the request is accepted in Friendica.

This seems to apply to all accounts on Friendica, whether the server is local or remote, and is probably linked to the way Friendica works. No such issue with Mastodon.

Steps to reproduce

1. Search for a Friendica account (e.g. barbapulpe@friends.gayfr.social)
2. Expect to be presented with the profile to follow, but get the error message Something went wrong - No remote account found with that address

Loops version

v1.0.0-beta9
