Hey #Fediverse, is it possible to follow #Lemmy users from #Mastodon? Or only Lemmy communities? Asking for a #FediFriend ;-) cc: @Mastodon @FediTips

@7sleepersmusic Although I can see my Feddit.uk account from here. I just can't see any posts i've made or replied to.
@emsquared Yeah, I'm not having much luck either. It would be a nice feature!
@7sleepersmusic I get that i see zero posts. Peertube is like that in that once i subscribe to someone over on peertube I then see new posts from that point and and not before but if i can't find people at all because nobody on my server is following them yet then it gets a tad more frustrating.
@emsquared TBH I still haven't wrapped my head around how it all works! I mostly treat my various Fedi accounts as separate entities, even tho I could probably just use one account for all of them. I guess I just got used to the fragmented world of corporate social media. Old habits die hard!
@7sleepersmusic also if you have the Lemmy user address you search for it on accounts as [email protected] or similar or @user etc. You'll only see their posts from the moment after you subscribe and because they are often replying to others it might not be shown and thus subscribing to the communities looks better from here.
@emsquared Ah, okay, I think I get it. So I'm guessing that the reason we can't subscribe to "@[email protected]" or "[email protected]" is because the admins of "startrek.website" haven't made that possible? Or something like that? (I'm not criticizing the admins, BTW, just tryna understand!)
@7sleepersmusic Well I can see @startrek but not that user so maybe that's an individual account setting. Hard to know.
