Description tbqdrn 2024-03-25 20:36:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
Some alternative fediverse software like e.g. Akkoma does not implement Mastodons featured_tags API methods.
See https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/featured_tags/ and https://docs.akkoma.dev/stable-docs/development/API/differences_in_mastoapi_responses/#featured-tags

Because of that, visiting a profile when connected to an Akkoma instance shows this ugly error message at the top:

Failed to contact server: Error transferring https://.../api/v1/accounts/.../featured_tags - server replied: . Please check your settings.

Visiting the specified URL in a browser gets me a {"error":"Not implemented"} JSON response, so I would suggest to silently fail instead of showing this error every time.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect Tokodon with an account hosted on any Akkoma instance
2. Visit a profile

OBSERVED RESULT
See error message at the top

EXPECTED RESULT
Silently fail

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2

Thanks for reporting as well as the response you get. I'll look into stopping the error (or possibly hiding the menu all together, if we can detect it)

Silently fail when 404'ing on featured tags

Some server software like Akkoma/Pleroma don't implement this endpoint,
annoying users of these servers. Instead of violently warning that we
404'd, just silently fail. This is OK as the code will fall back to not
showing any tags.
