Can't follow anyone on Pixelfed. Error in ActivityPub configuration (.env)?

*Not sure which is the right room to post this message. I’m just trying to contribute by reporting a possible error I found in Pixelfed:

I am new to YunoHost, having installed it two days ago. The first app I tried was Pixelfed. Everything worked fine except that I could not follow anyone. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that some “true” values in the ActivityPub configuration file (/var/www/pixelfed/.env) were quoted while others were unquoted. Here is what I found:

## ActivityPub Configuration
ACTIVITY_PUB="true"
AP_REMOTE_FOLLOW="true"
AP_INBOX="true"
AP_SHAREDINBOX="true"
AP_OUTBOX="true"
ATOM_FEEDS=true
NODEINFO=true

I removed the quotes, and now the problem seems to be solved. For reference, this is the updated configuration:

## ActivityPub Configuration
ACTIVITY_PUB=true
AP_REMOTE_FOLLOW=true
AP_INBOX=true
AP_SHAREDINBOX=true
AP_OUTBOX=true
ATOM_FEEDS=true
NODEINFO=true

I also noticed the inconsistency of the quotes in the .env file.
The upstream .env file seems to use those quotes inconsistently
