How to follow people from other instances? (kbin.social)

I want to follow https://mastodon.social/@haskell_discussions, but I can't seem to reach them from kbin. Usually with mastodon, I believe I should be able to search for that URL, like this:

https://kbin.social/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.social%2F%40haskell_discussions

But that does not give any results. I've also tried looking up the user directly like this:

https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]

But that also does not work.

Is there any way to do this?

/kbin can not follow Mastodon accounts, only Mastodon hashtags.

But yet for some reason I can follow some accounts, i.e. https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected] ?

The reason I want to follow that account is actually because I'm not seeing their posts, even though they use #haskell and I'm subscribed to that hashtag (and my magazine https://kbin.social/m/haskell is "subscribed" to that hashtag). Is there any way to get their posts to show up in the microblog?

Not that I'm aware of.
