I thought we were all one big federated family but I don’t have a deep knowledge of how it all works. I’d like to follow accounts like lowqualityfacts and Georgetakei but I can’t seem to find them by searching.

    From Lemmy you can see the accounts, but usually not their content (see note below). @[email protected]
    @[email protected]

    Interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon doesn’t work well because the two services structure their content differently. Lemmy is community based and Mastodon is user based. Lemmy doesn’t have a mechanism to follow an individual user, and Mastodon doesn’t have an analog to communities (afaik).

    (Note: In the case of these two accounts, some of their toots are visible because they have been pulled into the [email protected] community as part of an experiment to bridge Lemmy and Mastodon.)
